Just in the movies? *raised eyebrow*.
As a student (and a voracious reader), I've found a number of interesting differences between the "Romantic" regions (Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Latin America , etc.) and the "Northern" regions (Scandinavia, Finland, Northern Russia, Siberia, Alaska, Northern Canada, etc.).
There's a story by Susan Cooper based on an actual folktale from (I think) the British Isles about a man who falls in love with a woman who turns out to be a selkie (a sealwoman). Perhaps Nanaea can locate the title of the book (for it escapes me right now (Here, Title! Here, Title!) *beckoning whisles*).
Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)

I admit it :)
It is not only in the movies. Not that French and scandinavians are different people. In the end we are all humans alike to each other in many ways. Yet, mens romantic dreams of women in the northern regions seem to differ from the romantic dreams of women only a little further south in France. Perhaps it is the different ways of the light the two places as a friend suggest once we considered the matter.
