Then of course we could make a list of US films too, if you're not American, then they'd be foreign too! And Canadian...etc.

I'll post more if I think of them. oh and are you all familiar with the IMDB Internet Movie Data Base? You can look up any film on that website for titles, storyline, director, cast,all of that. a good resource!

okay, happy movie going!
