It may be something lost in translation, but I'm not sure what you are after. Films where the US comes into Europe and ??? Stereotypes of Americans?

There are probably many films about WWII that fall into such a category, and probably films about the Balkans too. I don't like war films though, so I would not know. I'm not very keen on stereotypes, either.

Films about ideas of the American Dream seen from a foreign perspective?
