The producers', for the most part. I'm not bemoaning the fact that I personally don't enjoy every single film ever created, I'm addressing the fact that, under capitalism, movie studios often very deliberately prefer their pictures to be optimally profitable rather than optimally well-made, e.g. "That writer is too expensive, the cheaper script won't make the trailer any worse", "You need something for the teenage boys", "No one will see a three hour western, Mr. Leone."

I understand that capitalism can suffer from human nature, but what would then make socialism less impervious to this (or is it)?

Do you mean "less susceptible" to this? Assuming you do, it isn't, it's simply susceptible in different ways, the nature of which depends on that of the socialist state.
