For that matter, the only African country we have as an option for CoO is South Africa, despite thriving cinema in Burkina Faso, Kenya, and Egypt, to name just a few.

I have wach some Egyptian films in festivals, and are very interesting. Now I have "Molade" african very interesting film about ablation with no country, but I am not all sure where is made, but I think is not made in South Africa.

I have also said previously that I am neither interested in coping with every language in Audio or Subs, we have more than enough right now..

The problem is not there are many language, the problem is the gestion system must be improved. Don't try aboid the problem, try solve the real problem.

This kind of reminds me of a potential argument that someone could make that he should be allowed to Contribute his home movies

Try not say ridiculus things. You know many people use dvdprofiler for his home movies. They can do, that they can't do is contribuited, because inline database is only of comercial titles. Ilogical arguments for ilogical actituds.

ike it or not Iran is just not a major player nor do they have a subsatntial audience.

And because that we must ignored them? Like that star many holocaust. Minorities, has rights also, and must be respected.

And one thing, USA-s made more bad and innecesary films tham good films are made in countrys like Iran or other not listed countries.

like the user last week that wanted Cantonese (which is nothing nmore than a dialect of Chinese),

Your world is very poor. Cantonese and Mandarin, that I know, write equal, but read very diferent, so diferent that is imposible understand with one the other, becasue many chinase films dubbed to the other. Cantonese is more tham a simple dialect. The languages in china, by write mode, are very diferent that we undertand for language.

Many asian dvd-s, have two chinasee audiotrack, very diferents and is logical diference them. True, for you and for your ear, will be equally understaning.

With afirmations like that, you probe how many short thinks have you.

So do others, but why not make field that we already have more usable?

A constructive idea and positive actitud. Learn Spiknet50, learn how things must be do. Problems are for solve, not for ignoref.

If you don't go a constructive actitud, is better you must be quiet.

There are what, somewhere around 190+ Countries in the world right now, this does not account for those countries have changed their names.

And how many actorr or crew we have only work in one film and not are a problem will be listed? Minor than 190?

The problem is not put the countries, the problem is for include, we must improve the gestion system, personalible usually countries and similar system.

Try solve problems, not created problems.

This could rapidly spiral out of cointrol, since everybody wants to have THEIR country/language and those who fell differently

Is true with actual system if we star adding without control, we will have a problem. You say don't have the problem, I said we must see will problem can be will, and improve the system to avoid the problem will be adding, and we can star adding.

Still I don't see any problem. We list 'em all on dropdown menu which keeps 5-10 users most used CoOs on top of that list.

Or made custonizable the most used, with easy system to find the less used.

Kulju, I have no explanation for.

BTW for both FH and Kulu, your personal attacks have only weakened your argument in my view and strengthened mine.

I think that the easiest solution is just to add every country and be done with it.

I think the easiest solution to CoO would be to make an open field, like Rating.  This would allow any country to be included, as well as multiple CoOs.

That's a wonderful idea.  It sounds like that would be just as easy, if not more so, as adding countries to the current dropdown field.  And we would still be able to sort & chart by them.

At the end of the day, don't we all want an accurate database?

Precisely.  I would like my database to be as accurate as humanly possible.  Skip, you have often commented that you are dedicated to making your database completely accurate.  So are many of the rest of us.  I know I want my database to be completely accurate to the last detail of data that I'm interested in.  And country of origin is one of those details.

Yes, I could keep track of the CoO for my foreign films via country using tags.  But then I couldn't have fun with charts, graphs and statistics for them.  They aren't included.  I also can't sort by tags. 

But as it stands I own a film from Afghanistan, have films from Yugoslavia, Chile, Argentina, Morocco, Iran, & Cuba on my wishlist, and there's no way to sort them or track them by CoO.  So, please don't tell me I don't need more countries or I should work around it by changing countries I'm not currently using to one I need.  I may need that country in the future as it is.  I enjoy - often a great deal - non-US film.

There seems to be a lot of agreement for the most part here.  The majority may not use it, but they seem to see the value of being able to correctly ID a film's country of origin (either by open field or by adding to the drop down).

Lastly, may I say thank you to the OP and later posters for inspiring me to go look up Iranian film.  Some of their films sound wonderful and I have added several to my wishlist.
