Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

You are again confusing the revenues with quality

There is no question many American films produce tremendous revenues abroad - that IS the strenth of American movie industry.

But let's not lose our perspective - what sells most is usually not what is synonimous with high quality.

Your original point was that snobs here want to see films nobody else wants to - and to that I say that is incorrect. Even if the proportion of people in other coutries who love those obscure in the US films is being swamped by the mad hordes of the French and Italian viewers standing in line to see the Titanic.

Which is to say I suspect many more have seen and love Friday Night in France than here. So wanting to see it here doesn't qualify one as a wierdo, but rather as someone who is curious what the big world loves.

I don't even want to mention the dreaded MacDonald analogy here.
