All films' language and country of origin and color should be compulsory.

Why isn't this already a thing?

I find a staggering amount of orphaned imdb projects that either have no country listed, or no language though they are clearly American, and clearly the articles have been sloppily made perhaps by the filmmaker- meaning they are impossible to search for. Surely, they should be  required part of every film listing. Surely, it's as important as a title or year.

At least you should be able to search for films where there is no language listed or no country, so then one can identiy the country. 

It means extra work trying to locate films without countries, i..e ooking assidiuously through actors CVS.

What do you suggest when someone doesn't know the film's country of origin and/or language for sure but does know a lot of other information? For example: the title, the year, two genres, color, running time and two actors. Would you rather this information would NOT be added to the database?

Well, put unknown but list unknown as a country, and then people can look it up through the list of films with unknown countries and add it!!

As I say, make it a way that these can be easily searched for rather than coming up by chance.

We are starting to highlight content gaps via IMDb Answers, however, country of origin is not (yet) supported.  Please see https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/new-features-updates/imdb-answers/GNDLJFPFJEZH36ZM

I agree it would be very nice if this would be possible. Perhaps such items could be added to the advanced title search (https://www.imdb.com/search/title/)?
