Flavorwire has proposed new classifications for independent film.

“If ‘independent film’ is just a label to begin with, then why not expand it, and get a little more specific? Every film isn’t either indie or studio — let’s break it down, so we know exactly what we’re getting when we go to the cinema.”

Their categories are:

• Underground
• Indie-ground
• Malick-wood
• Indie
• Indie-wood
• Foreign-wood
• Holly-pendent
• Studio
• Studio-plus
• Explosion-ganza!

My take: I also want to know if the film is less than two hours long and if the ending is upbeat.
