    Default Which country's movies do you prefer most?

    Having watched only about 5 Mainland movies, 4 of them are in my top 10 of all time. So, I can safely say that Mainland movies touch me the most.

    I can't stand typical Hokkywood movies, so I think 'typical' US movies are out for me.

    I like Japanese horrors (am a fan of Ju On ), HK n China's wuxia movies, and of course, France's 9th art

    I find movies from 'exotic' countries -Poland, Tibetan, Egypt,... to be fascinating as well.

    Definitly the USA for me. I don't bother to separate typical Hollywood or independant movies, I don't care. The only thing that's important is if it's good or not. From all the movies from different countries I've seen since childhood, I'd say all of my favorite 10 movies are American productions. After the USA, Great Britain comes second. Among the big guns in the movie industry, I like France's movies the least.
    My obsessions: Joy Division, New Order, Bones, The Office.

    Would probably go with the USA coz more of the movies varied and the CGI used in some of the films are superb (yes, technology does matter). However, I find that HK stretches out in ideas, quite beyond my imagination. I also enjoy some of Iranian movies, even better than those from France.

    USA - More importantly Hollywood... I don't think anyone can keep up with technology advance filming as them... and I do have a soft spot for HK films.

    The up and coming is Korean film... so far the few I saw I have really enjoy.

    but is hard to find good movies unless you are trying different things... I mean most good foreign movies are thru word of mouth of oscar or film award selection.

    Then again even some of those movies to me are crap

    I'd say Korea. Korean cinema has improved by alot since 2000 and their CGI and special effects are pretty comparable to those in the US. Combined with their plots which I generally find more unique and interesting, it makes Korean entertainment very enjoyable.
