WORLD CINEMA - ONE FILM PER COUNTRY
by bob-ktown | created - 14 Dec 2010 | updated - 22 Jan 2011 | PublicOngoing list to attempt a diverse experience. As for 'big movie countries' like the USA I've picked the specific title more or less randomly (among my highest votes of course). As for smaller ones, each the best (in some cases: only one) I've seen.
Sorted alphabetically by country. In case of multiple eras for the same region (e.g. USSR -> Russia) the entries are arranged in historical order, beginning with the actual situation (e.g. to find USSR you don't skip to 'U', but to 'R' for Russia).
The note of each entry is as follows:
Current, common name of the country
→ OFFICIAL NAME OF THE COUNTRY AT THE TIME THE FILM WAS PRODUCED
optional: (date of era)
Population: estimated or census (date)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(below this line only information about the film - NOT the country)
