Hell, plenty of good American movies come out every year, too. There are a shitload of movies released each year, even just the ones big enough to get noticed nationally or internationally, not just art projects that only play once at a local library or something. It doesn’t take a large proportion of those being good before they’re outpacing the rate at which most people watch movies, even if all that watching goes to movies released in the last year or so—me, I’m also still catching up on the thousands of good-to-great movies released in the first century+ of cinema.
Some of the good ones are even Hollywood movies. They just might not be action movies (sometimes they are!) or might not have a super-sized marketing budget, so I guess lots of folks only see the handful that get advertised heavily and figure those are the only movies, but even Wikipedia or IMDB’s list of films released each year are looooong and they don’t capture everything.
