The snob/schmoe factor for me has to be based more on what I see than where I see it... as there's no art-house venue here per se. There are a few multiplexes which bring in the highbrow and the foreign titles with more limited screenings. A junky old cinema at the beaches just closed last night. When I first got here, it was the place to see indies and foreign titles -- I saw Solomon and Gaenor, Amelie, Sunshine State, and Bride and Prejudice there. But they seem to have gotten away from that lately, and it meant I didn't go across the intracoastal bridge to go to the most run-down cinema in the area anymore.
We're just getting Who Killed the Electric Car? here, and I can't recall a foreign title since Paradise Now, but I might not be remembering correctly. The Orlando area has The Enzian, and tends to do a little better drawing the less mainstream titles. When I travel, I sometimes try to see a movie I think might not open in my area.
