So here's a poser for ya;
Are more people watching foreign films because they are tired of poor lazy filmaking from Hollywood; or
Is this increase due to the internet, a wider selection available to more people than before and companies like amazon that now sell previously unavailable foreign titles?

IMO, CGI is the worst thing to happen to filmaking, it has made filmakers lazy, and a lot of Big Movies substitute story and plot for expensive effects. Foreign filmakers don't have the same budgets as Hollywood Blockbusters, and this forces the director to be more creative and clever. I tend to find foreign films less formulaic, and on the whole they tend to have layered stories with complex characters. Unfortunately, Hollywood is now remaking loads of foreign films, and although some of the remakes are good films, they never better the original. Just my humble opinion, what d'ya think people????
P.S. I'm wearing a French beret and Salvador Dali moustache as I write this thread!!!

I think it is a mix of both.

The internet certainly helps from a marketing perspective.
