I think the more commercial a (American) movie the more "American" it's viewed. I think it's pretty much the same every where.. (ingluding US) most US movies are seen as entertaining (or shallow/stupid), British as the older generations entertaiment/boring and French as intellectual or artsy (or fake artsy porn) and to watch any other "nationality" you must really question things (or b a communist or other similiar creature). And about what is foreign.. (sorry Pims) from an American point of view I'd probably count most non US (weather it's in english language or not) films as forein.. And as US pop culture has pretty much, at least in some extend, spread every where, I'd think that at least the "mainstream" movies people don't generally see as foreign (at least in the initial sense of the word, anyway) and love it or hate it as much as Coke or McDonalds. Allthow maybe most do watch them a bit more objectively than maybe movies from they're own country(?) (and some, like The Godfather movies I think some people seem to put into different category, because of the "Italian American" factor, I might b makeing that up thow.. but I think they seem to get a little bit more respect 4 that reason). I don't think language alone could be the thing to determine what is foreign and what is not, I think it totally depends from one's personal point of fiew. I was watching "The Secret of Roan Inish" (Irish) one day with some American english speakers (I don't meen to generalizise here-!) (Bush joke: Bush probably would have asked "what language is this?" and then refused to watch "Iranian" terrorist movie..), for whom it might as well been in Heprew (as well as the subject being from Mars). And why do some of those (US films) Brit DVDs have been dubbed in Cocney? (Meaning, that Im no't sure if English can b count as just one language..;-).
