The French still make some pretty decent films, as do the Germans, but while the French and Germans get to see those films (and other European films) in addition to US stuff, the Yanks don't get to see European films. Their loss!

Exactly, their loss!

As much as I can understand that their limited cultural offer is sufficient for their little cultural expectations and intellectual capacities, as much I don't understand why they would want us to be like them...

We love American culture, of course!
Not to the point of making it the ONLY available culture.
We leave mono-culture to the US.
