Something I dislike in movies is when a movie is set in a non-English-speaking country, but all the characters are speaking English. I would rather have the characters speak the proper language for the country, with English subtitles. But I guess the movie execs have calculated that subtitles will make the movie less profitable.

They're made for an American audience, who are generally afraid of non-English languages

It's true. I'm terrified of reading this thread right now.
