I wouldn't say they are popular, it is because they are dominant because you have too much money and can produce crap after crap. Britain has a great industry and some of the best movies you will ever watch. Anyone who says British films are bad will probably have a very limited knowledge of cinema. Europe produces by far some of the best films where America of course has a great film industry but 95% of those films are crap and only exist for profit.Are American movies popular in UK?
