Americans don’t like movies with subtitles

Only nine foreign films have grossed more than $20 million in the US:

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Life Is Beautiful
Hero
Pan’s Labyrinth
Amelie
Jet Li’s Fearless
Il Postino
Like Water for Chocolate
La Cage aux Folles

And only 22 have made more than $10 million. There are some great great films on the full list. (via latimes)
