I love watching my country movies but for anime I don’t mind watching it in their language because not a lot of anime gets dubbed & some series goes on longer than the US releases like Prince of tennis or is really slow with releasing each season.

I love watching foreign movies. For the past few years I have mostly watched Filipino and South Korean movies and I loved them.

I prefer watching foreign movies and series when possible. Films that are exported aways seem to be higher quality.

I like both! I don't choose a film specifically because of where it's made but whether it sounds like it's a movie I'd enjoy or how accessible it is for me to watch.

Some Japanese Films are really amazing ie. Battle Royale (was awesome). So i'd say that i do love watching foreign movies. Other awesome films include some shorts in French cinema with subtitles. Country movies, I do like them too but i have to say the more recent ones like Wild West and Dead Man Walking. I think they would be a sub-genre of country though. Anything with a country/desert theme or outback/bush for me is considered country here so country here is kinda cool too. Zombie country and that.

I like watching Hollywood made action movies, because of their advanced special effects. I also like most of their comedies. But for other genres, I prefer local films.

I love to watch movies from my own country that doesn't mean i dont watch foreign movies. I do watch foreign movies and enjoy them equally.. but the thing about the movies of my own country is i can relate with everything and foreign films are rarely relatable.

I love to watch foreign movies over our local movies. I'm from Ghana. To keep track of what going on in the bigger world. Their ideas and technologies
