I like good films.
Doesn't much matter where they're from, in my opinion.

Me too, but I don't think anyone should stick to Hollywood movies for example. There's some amazing cinema out there from all over.

I like a lot of films from the US and a few from UK. France is a really good filmcountry too.
I saw a production from Mongolia a few months ago which was more than decent.
Dutch movies are good though, too bad the language keeps a lot of foreign viewers away.

good is good, no matter where like others said. i love foreign films. i hate remakes that only change the language (and gender - Let Me In). i just watched Mesrine part 1 and 2. gangster is gangster, but this man was no gangster. he doesn't deserve a short film and he got a 4 hour epic. the film was sloppy as it was, but i kept wondering why nobody just shot him in the head a few good times - and way earlier! ;p
