@amirshossein1989  I edited the title of your thread from Live Poll to Suggestion since this is not yet a published poll. If it is tagged the wrong way it may get lost and not get noticed.

Australia is not an Asian country, it should be deleted. But there are several other countries that you could include like: Taiwan (one time Oscar winner) - highest grossing film is: Cape no.7  Israel (Asian country even if it has a terrible relation to its neighbours - Bikur ha-tizmoret Lebanon - Capernaum Palestine - Paradise Now Vietnam - Mai Kazakhstan - Dästür Nepal - Purna bahadur ko Sarangi Jordan - Theeb Cambodia - The Dark Mother Bhutan - Lunana All above countries are Oscar nominated at least once. The following countries also have important cinematic production even if they have no Oscar nominations yet: Philippines - Hello, Love Again Thailand - Pee Mak Bangladesh - Toofan Indonesia - KKN di desa penari And Turkey is mostly an Asian country - Rafadan Tayfa 4

First of all, thanks for your great and detailed comment, it would be my pleasure to catch your attention. Second, I deleted Australia but still believe this country is really close to Asia geographically... Third, to your list, I added the titles from Asian countries with comparable populations and histories versus those that are much smaller. So, I added Taiwan, Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, Bangladesh, and finally Indonesia to the list. In the end, I didn't add Turkey because this country claims it's a European instead of an Asian country.

Thanks for your comment @dan_dassow  So what's your opinion that I should add to the list?

@amirshossein1989​ , I agree with @Pencho15 that you should add to the list. Since there are 51 Asian countries, you split this into two polls. Alternately, you could add criteria, such as a minimum box office revenue.

I would check out this website list for top films from different countries. Plus, I am not sure if they are the highest grossing films for each country, but these two warrant a further look, IMHO. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Tiawan) The Raid and/or The Raid 2 (Indonesia)

@amirshossein1989​ , Using the IMDb Top 250 to select countries and films is reasonable. Thank you for your effort.
