What exactly are we considering foreign?

[bowieee]

Does Canandian count as foreign or is everything North American related count as Non foreign? I thought I would be a pain in the ass :).

[teenkiller]

Personally I consider foreign anything not from the U.S. But I guess it depends on what country your from... Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

[The Claw]

I'd say cananda isnt foreign, it's apart of north america so, i'd say no. but everywhere else is. i'd guess.

[Hell Phantom]

Well it depends what contry you're from...if it's not from your country...it's Foreign See, GINGER SNAPS isn't from America here so it's Foreign here but not in Canada. Catch my drift?

I tend to think of foreign films as those made by/in countries whose first language isn't English. For example, anything made in the US, Canada or the UK I do not consider to be foreign, but anything from the rest of Europe, Asia, Australia and South America I consider foreign.

Another example is John Woo - I don't consider Broken Arrow or Face/Off to be foreign, as they were made in America (and yes, I appreciate that there may be foreign locations employed, but you get my drift :) ), but I do consider Hard Boiled and A Better Tomorrow to be foreign as they were made in Hong Kong.

Make sense? :)

(Works for me anyway!)

I was thinking more along the lines of: outside of North America but there's no gun to your head, if you consider Canada to be foreign, discuss Canuck genre flicks here.

[The Arrow]

How about this: what YOU consider foreign...SLAP IT IN HERE!

I consider country's that don't speak English to be foreign.

[Cyclonus]

I think that's pretty much what I was gonna say too. The only problem is that the politically correct police might accuse us of being "ethocentric." :rolleyes: What do you non-English-country schmoes have to say on the issue?

[Jewbo]

yeah non english speeking places sounds good 2 me coz otherwise it cud include every country.

[Whiggles]

Typically when I think of a foreign movie, I consider it to be a movie that ISN'T from one of the following countries:

- Australia
- Canada
- England
- Ireland (Northern and Southern)
- Scotland
- USA
- Wales

I always thought everything that's not from North America is foreign. In the sense that I'd be living in the US, which I'm not. I hope you catch my drift.

But if your gonna do the first language isn't english rule then Australia isn't foreign movie.I know it's trivial but just thought i'd mention it ok.

Good point kiwihitman, but it's debatable whether Australian can be classified as English, what with all their talk of 'Shelias', 'Barbies' and the like! ;)



(BTW, for those few Schmoes with a humour bypass, I am kidding! :) )

I consider non-english speaking (first language) nations to be foreign.
