I never even HEARD of any of these movies, so I guess your point is made. I will continue to watch my DVD's of The Patriot, and We Were Soldiers Once, and Young, unless Hollwouldn't offers something compareable.
I think you can fit the audience for a typical John Sayles movie in a phone booth. His films don't get huge releases anyway.
My favorite John Sayles flick, BTW, is Battle Beyond the Stars.
