One expression that I consider a "classic" English one is "my cup of tea".
Does the literal translation in French, i.e. "ma tasse de thé", sound enough idiomatic to native French speakers that are not necessarily familiar with the original English one?
What about also for the negation as in
Hollywood blockbusters are not my cup of tea.
Les blockbusters hollywoodiens ne sont pas ma tasse de thé.
Is the French sentence idiomatic? Or something like the following renders better the meaning in French?
Les blockbusters hollywoodiens, c'est pas mon truc.

« Ce n'est pas ma tasse de thé » est très employé en France. Je suppose que pratiquement tout le monde le comprend. Je pourrais en écrire beaucoup sur le sujet mais je ne pourrais pas faire mieux que ça et ça, et le plagiat ce n'est pas vraiment ma tasse de thé.

I hear often the negative form "c'est pas ma tasse de thé" in France but almost never the affirmative "c'est ma tasse de thé" .
"C'est mon truc" works in both affirmative and negative forms.
The familiar "c'est (pas) mon délire" works as well in circles of young friends.
Another familiar expression is "c'est (pas) mon dada", which is older. It works in negative form but is mostly used affirmatively.
