I think that's beginning to change.
Harry Potter,
Lord of the Rings,
The Curse of the Were-Rabbit,
Four Weddings and a Funeral,
Austin Powers -- British English appears to be "cool" at the moment; it's certainly being heard more often now in popular culture than it used to be. I've even noticed some anglicisms creeping into Americans' speech lately; for example, one or two Americans are beginning to say "bum" to mean "butt", when just a few years ago it might have just confused them.
