It's a question of the artistic versus the commercial. All countries have weird art films and then they have "normal" films for the general audience. Hollywood is extremely commercial, so you don't get weird stuff but rather the pinnacle of easy and fun consumption. To this end, they also have the biggest budgets in the world and that's why their blockbusters make the rounds around the world and are accepted as a standard of sorts.
