Yes, quite a few movies were made in US of A. Many may disagree, but on an artistic sense on filmings the new found land is a mix of classic and modern architecture. Where as Europe has still intact its history. Plus the country side around European countries is quite beatiful and varied during all 4 seasons. Countries like Autralia has its own charm, and more than that its original, but too far in miles. To make a film in US of A, it should be assosiated to the story or a rare song of a person in love with "New York Nagaram urangum neram" else it will not work. How long can we see all the neon lights, logos and ads of marks that we can see in our everyday life in India. And there will surely be the McDonald guy doing a bit or giving flowers.
For the rest anytime a song below Eiffel tower or in the gardens of Lourve or on the alps or at the banks Venice or ariel shots over Sweden or the crooked English streets or fun loving Belgians at the platform or colorfully decorated Madrid during a festival or beside Edinburg castle ... well the list goes on is really wonderful to shoot.
Talking about France, I have already said the the making of Asal was shown on the National news. It was shot entirely at Lyon and Prabhu gave an interview in English.
