Now there's a film i really want to see. I've heard  many good things about "dolls".
 
  Also: Serpico ----> 5/5, or near-as-dammit. Excellent,  excellent film.

I didn't exactly watch it, but from what I saw The Cell was  a definite 2/5. Everything was terrible except the visuals,  which were outstanding throughout (no I'm not just talking  about Jennifer Lopez).

The Spanish Prisoner - 3/5

Motorcycle Diaries:  4/5
  quite beautifully filmed.  it provides the background  inspiration for the rest of Che Guevara's life, based on his  and his close friend's journals.
 
  not a lot of plot here, just a road trip kinda movie, but  the locations are exotic and the performances by everyone  are very natural.

The Best of Triumph, the insult comic dog - 3/5
  largely material that has floated around the net for some  time: starwars dork line, bon jovi concert etc.  but also  outtakes from all these familiar scenes.  Also, the American  Idol stuff is hillarious, and the Hollywood Squares  appearance is hillarious.

thought it might be,
  I don't know if this is a good or bad thing but I can't take  American movies seriously anymore, its a shame because the  odd film is really good but I go to see their films with the  lowest expectations.

tdat was obviously groomed from the very beginning to be a  'blockbuster'... thus it attempted to appeal to every  audience, and completely fell flat because it excelled in no  area.
 
  i dont think every american film is like this.

i'd reckon theres as many good american movies coming out as  there is from any other country, you just have to look  beyond hollywood. my favorite movies of the last couple  years are all american.

yeah, really it should be proportional... i find it really  difficult to find good new foreign films, because you don't  necessarily have the benefit of retrospect to help sort out  the gems from the duds... i know that in a few years time i  will know about the good foreign films from now... and  certain directors i know to pay attention to... but i'm not  satisfied with what i know in that area... what i can speak  for is a handful of very very talented american directors...  i'm very much looking forward to both the new David O.  Russell film and of course Wes Anderson's latest...

yeah, them and sophia coppolla and spike jonze are the most  interesting directors working right now imo. i see alot of  people on here talk about "foreign film" and then just list  japanese movies. seems kind of shallow, like "hey, its  japanese, must be good". theres plenty of great movies  coming out of asia and europe, but i'd say its equal to  americas product.

don't be amuzed - I rated Big Lebowsky 3/5.
  as for me, Cuckoos Nest was very predictable, and made for family use.

I definately wouldn't say they are equal but I do admit  there are 'some' good American films, its just annoying when  all thats at the cinema are Hollyood blockbusters and its  hard to get to see the decent films. 
 
  The only good American films i've seen recently is 'Eternal  Sunshine...' and 'Lost in Translation'. Thats not many  considering the amount that are realeased here.
 
  A film isn't good just because its Japanese but they do make  a surpising amount of good movies compared to other  countries, also i've seen some 'amazing' Korean films  lately.
 
  The Korean horror film 'Tale of Two Sisters' is better than  any Horror film America has made for years.
