Just about every American movie ever made.

Honestly they are all, with very few exceptions, based on the assumptions that American culture is superior to that of every body else!

Lost in Translation- It portrays Japanese culture through the eyes of two Americans who meet on the island. It is humorous because one can relate as an American, but a native of Japan may interpret the motives of the film differently.

How about Mel Gibson's 'Apocalipto'?

it's Mel's very own, very historically inaccurate, very ethnocentric version of the collapse of Maya civilization (and subsequent, sudden fast-forward several hundred years to the arrival of the Spanish as the 'saving' of Mesoamerica... sigh)
