Which do you prefer, American or British movies?

And why, Thanks.Which do you prefer, American or British movies?I have no preference. There are good movies. There are bad movies. Whether they are American or British has no impact on that.Which do you prefer, American or British movies?
American, the last good thing to come out of Britain was Margaret Thatcher.Which do you prefer, American or British movies?American. I just don't get the dry British humor.
Depends what you are looking for. I love British humor, but serious British movies bore me to death. American movies have more budget behind them so the effects allow them to do so much more!Which do you prefer, American or British movies?American. because errr,..................yes, american!Which do you prefer, American or British movies?
I like either. British comedies (like Thin Blue Line, Blackadder, My Family) are my favourite, while America is really good at making up stories. ;)
American movies. British movies are often dull, british humor is not all that humorous and british movies often star Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean)Which do you prefer, American or British movies?
Ofcourse British...no not because of humor but first of all its real ENGLISH for me being european its so much better to understand......then actors are SO MUCH BETTER...they didnt have their faces lifted yet too much and acting with a botox-face leaves LESS emotions right.Anyway plot of film is also much better and how about the BRITISH directors,they are fabulous really.I think British movies take less time,money and violence to make and more talent,quality and emotions. But hey an american will tell ya otherwise
American for sure ! That is generalizing it a bit . South Africans do not really appreciate the slapstick approach to comedy however there is some exceptions to the rule like Mr. Bean %26amp; one foot in the grave (which I found hillarious). Action movies from Brittain are seldom something to mention. The last 007 was exelent !
In everything except comedies then I'm afraid America wins. They make great action, adventure and horror that has me waking in cold sweats mumbling, "I see dead people!!"



But in comedy, especially animated, I much prefer the British. It's a lot more sophisticated and doesn't rely on lame slapstick and 'Dissin' da hommies' as the only sources of entertainment.

(Compare Open Season to Flushed Away and see my words of wisdom spring to life)



Sadly though Britain doesn't produce the quantities of movies that America does.
If it's a good movie, I don't care!
Block busters American because of the quality.



The british they just look low budget.



I must say though I like the British gangster slash comedies

"Lock stock and 2 smoking barrels" is a classic.

Guy Richie at his best.
British, the storyline actually lives up to the word!
most.def. american---british humour is soo dry
If the movie is any good I do not care, but I have a tendency to watch more British than American for the comedy side.



America is where the movies come from, so do we really have a choice? If I knew any Hindu I might have said Bollywood, who knows?
American... not to be ugly but i cant stand the british accent
Either... A movie is either good or not good.
American movies do it for me.



1. Mostly, their actors are superb



2. Generally, they write good scripts. Movie making runs in the blood of Americans and they put their hearts and minds in their movie projects.



3. Their accent makes it easier to follow. Interestingly, we were a British colony and I studied in UK, but I still can't get used to their accent.



4. I can easily relate to their humour, British humour is too dry for me.



5. They are good in marketing their movies. So, even if one is not keen, they charm their way through targetted marketing.
American. They're straight to the point. Brittish movies bore me %26amp; I don't like the brittish slapstick humour.
American, British humour (what humour?) its too dry, and their accent is boring.
American MO*** do it for...
American of course! i'm british but i don't think it is even worth comparing the american film industry to britains film industry.
I prefer British movies. They are, in my opinion, not quite as exaggerated as American ones. In recent years many very good movies have come out of Britain. Take "28 Days Later" and "Shaun of the Dead" for instance.
