French dance duo Justice are fully aware of their country's cinematical pedigree, which includes classic filmmakers Jean-Luc Godard, Francois Truffaut and Eric Rohmer, among others. But Justice's Xavier de Rosnay admits to being more of a fan of Ameircan cinema. "For films, we have really simple tastes and watch many blockbusters," he tells Spinner. "It's like 'Back to the Future,' 'Robocop,' 'Robocop 2,' 'Robocop 3,' 'Die Hard.' We have the worst taste ever."

And for those who are surprised by the admission of preferring American popcorn fare to the French new wave, de Rosnay shrugs it off. "I just prefer Bruce Willis and Eddie Murphy," he says. "It's good to say, 'Yeah, we like the nouvelle vague.' But the truth is everybody prefers Bruce Willis. It's like saying you listen to Gang of Four when you listen to Michael Jackson."
