It is a mistake of the highest order to believe that all quality entertainment comes out of the legacy companies of Hollywood and their ilk. Some of the best entertainment comes, instead, from small groups or even individuals who have talent, skill, and, most importantly, a healthy dose of giveadamn. Examples:
Astartes
A Warhammer 40K fan film made by one guy. Even if you know nothing of 40K, just sit back and behold the awesome.

Enterprise Leaves Spacedock
Best viewed on a ginormous screen in the dark, this is three and a half minutes of Star Trek VI recut with new VFX by, again, one guy. It's spectacular.

Wanderers
Again, ONE GUY. Yeah, it's seven years ago, not five... but it still kicks Hollywoods ass.
