I am 41 - and am interested in various genres from across the big pond (ok-Mexico also).  Unfortunatly I am "exiled" in North Carolina where very few "limited release" films are shown.  Duke or UNC-CH do help but for the travel time.
I do agree that USA is not as bad as represented, but search you must.  Hollywood has sold its self so the studio system is long dead - they did make GREAT MOVIES - mostly - I believe because of the German influence in the 20s and 30s
