1 United States of America

While the stories aren't usually American,
Americans do a hell of a job making them
into films.
Schindlers List
Avengers
Pursuit of Happiness
Pearl Harbor
All the superhero movies
The God Father
Rocky
Star Wars
DISNEY MOVIES
Etc, etc, etc...
How the hell is India above America, yeah
India makes the most but not the best,
America film industry has professional
actors and costly films unlike India, this is
the last top ten list I will see on here,
people seriously hate America, the last list
I saw had Canada above America in best
music

Perhaps not from a ratio standpoint -
there's certainly a lot of crap that comes
out of Hollywood - but as far as "the best"
goes no other country even comes close.

2. Japan


I praise japanese movies
most. They are the king of movies.
Nobody can beat them even us also.
Almost 70% of hollywood movies are
made in japan. Remember that.
Hollywood copies most of tthe japanese
movies and make them hit.
Japanese movies are awesome. They have
movies in almost all genres. From crazy to
emotional. The movies have proper
direction. I liked almost every Japanese
movie that I have watched. And believe
me, I have watched a lot.
Japanese films seem to allow more
freedom and creativeness follows. The
character development in their films tends
to go deeper.
Their films just feel unique...
3United Kingdom
Oh really? Fifth? Where we have some of
the most popular franchises in the world?
James Bond? Harry Potter? Monty Python?
All of various genres and various talents in
the making of the films. I would definitely
say that we have some of the best of the
best of movies.
PositronWildhawk
I'm sorry, is the scary movie crap from
US better than Monty Python? James
Bond? Harry Potter? British cinema is not
nearly as big as the Hollywod and
Bollywood but we make the classics. We
have the best comedies in the world,
although our action and drama industry is
pretty good. Hollywood has quantity but
no quality. We have it the other way
round
Most of stanley kubrick's films were shot
in the United Kingdom so I guess that
counts as a point for the country with the
best movies.


4. India


Movies in India are of various languages
and tell of different people. Hats off to he
great directors like Satyajit Ray
Indian Movies Like,
Mother India,
Salaam Bombay,
Lagaan,
Taare Zameen Par,
3 Idiots,
Still made mark on International Level.
As a citizen of New Zealand, I love Indian
movies because they are really romantic
and the actor actress romances without
any sex scene...
And these movies are family friendly..
Love bollywood songs


5. Italy


Italy has gave us some good spaghetti
western films. The best example is the
good, the bad and the ugly staring clint
eastwood.
The only bad movie to ever come out of
Italy is animated version of the titanic
where nobody dies at all!
Best romantic movies ever
6Germany
As a japanese, I love german movies more
than this Hollywood rubbish.
I think German movies have better
thoughtful stories with characters with
more range. The characters in German
movies seem to be many sided and not
like black and white portraits in American
movies.
The best known German films are
nosferatu and metropolis. Who knew
Germans were so good at filmmaking?
These films are definitely worth checking
out. Trust me.


7. New Zealand


They have peter jackson
The lord of the rings and the hobbit films
were entirely shot in New Zealand.
Go go power rangers


8. Brazil


My favorite Brazilian film is city of god.
It's definitely worth checking out. Trust
me.


9. Philippines
This country got the best indie films I the
planet
AMAZING PHILLIPPINES! THEY HAVE A
VERY GOOD MOVIES IN DIFFERENT
CATEGORIES SUCH AS IN HORROR,
SUSPENSE, ROMANCE, ACTION, INDIE,

TVC NEWS [PORT HARCOURT]-

The sister of Nigeria's powerful petroleum minister has been kidnapped in the oil hub of Port Harcourt, police said Friday, in the latest
abduction targeting a prominent political
family.
Osio Agama, whose sister Diezani Alison-
Madueke leads Africa's largest oil industry,
was seized at gunpoint as she approached
her car on
Tuesday night, Rivers state police
spokesman Ahmad Muhammad said.
Muhammad said police "were not aware
if any ransom demand had been made"
and the motive for the abduction was
unknown but the southern oil-producing
Niger Delta region has seen waves of
ransom kidnappings in recent years.
One of the most prominent cases came in
December 2012, when Finance Minister
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala's 82-year-old
mother Kamene Okonjo was abducted
from her home, in neighbouring Delta
state.
Okonjo-Iweala and Alison-Madueke are
widely seen as the two most powerful
members of President Goodluck
Jonathan's cabinet.
Jonathan's 70-year-old uncle was also
kidnapped earlier this year in Bayelsa
state, also in the Niger Delta.
Some have sought to attach a political
motive to attacks targeting Nigeria's most
powerful families.
The finance minister implied that her
mother was seized because of her
ministry's crackdown on oil companies
which had abused the country's rotten
fuel subsidy scheme.
But such links were never proven and
Kamene Okonjo was released a week after
her abduction.
The security forces and affected families
almost never confirm ransom payments
but most believe kidnappers in the Niger
Delta are seeking financial gain.
Despite producing roughly two million
barrels of oil per day, the area remains
acutely poor with high unemployment.
Gang activity is rampant and kidnappings
have at times been perpetrated on a near
weekly basis.
Local politicians, prominent businessmen
and foreigners have been among the
targets.

SUSPENSE Members of the public are eager to know the verdict of the Lagos State government on the collapsed structure
It is no longer news that a six-floor guesthouse of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) in the Ikotun area of Lagos caved-in penultimate week, with over 70 casualties – most of which were foreigners.
What is news is the plan by Lagos State government to unravel the cause of the collapse and ensure that culprits are brought to book according to the laws of the land. The citizens and stakeholders are watching, knowing-fully- well that the state has the highest number of incidents of building collapse in the country.
Between 2007 and 2013, it has been established by the Abimbola Ajayi-led Tribunal of Inquiry on Collapsed Building that 130 incidents of building collapse occurred in the metropolis, resulting in the loss of many lives and properties worth several billions of naira.
Apart from this, many families have been traumatised while many landlords and developers have lost their hardearned savings in the process. In all of these cases, no person has been held responsible for collapsed structure, making many people to doubt the ability of the state authority to do the needful as regards the recent collapsed structure of Synagogue Church.
Factors liable for building failure
Factors not limited to structural defects, dilapidation, use of poor building materials, lack of maintenance, poor construction, poor quality work, illegal conversion, poor supervision, non-compliance with approved building plans and permits, overloading and use of sub-standard materials have been adduced, among others, to be responsible for some of these structural failures.
Since the collapse of the SCOAN building, many reasons have been adduced for its failure. Although the owner, Prophet Temitope Joshua, had blamed a “misery airplane” for the collapse, many experts in the built environment who had visited the scene have adduced weak foundation, overloading and poor workmanship; while government is yet to ascertain the claim by Joshua but argued that the structure has no building approval.
The implication of this is that the construction of the building is illegal. Just the way it happened during the collapse of a fourstorey building belonging to the Foursquare Gospel Church in Ojodu, Lagos, in 2013, where government, within 48 hours, seized the site, the state authority, according to many views, has been foot-dragging in taking decision in the latest collapsed structure despite its zero tolerance for structural failure.
Government’s explanation
Speaking to New Telegraph at the weekend on the position of government so far, Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Mr Toyin Ayinde, a town planner, said that though the structure did not have a building approval but government is still investigating the cause of the collapse.
While expressing his condolences and sympathy with those who lost their loved ones and those that were injured in the unfortunate incident, the commissioner clarified that there are no plans to take over the collapsed structure site until thorough and detailed investigation as to the cause of the collapse has been concluded. He explained that government does not arbitrarily take over properties when investigation is still on going, noting that government is conducting a preliminary investigation into the cause of the collapse and would leave no stone unturned.
He stressed that if there is any violation of relevant planning law, residents are assured that government would take appropriate action. To this end, Ayinde stated that a team of engineers from the ministry and other state government agencies were currently taking samples from the foundation and materials from the wreckage of the building for detailed analysis and testing to ascertain the structural integrity of the building.
He said: “On the veracity of the “strange plane theory,” alleged to have dangerously flown low over the building fifty minutes before the collapse, the ministry had submitted the video clips, as provided by the church, to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) with the coordinate of the collapsed site for investigation and professional comment.”
Experts’ perspective
On the slow pace of government to invoke the Lagos State Urban and Regional Planning Law 2010, following the collapse of the building, former President of the Nigerian Institute of Town Planners (NITP), Mr Waheed Kadiri, noted that there are two ways to view the issue. He pointed out that the law did not say that any building that just collapsed.
Kadiri explained: “There could be condition. The building may collapse because of the natural force that is beyond the control of the owner. That is another thing you cannot penalise.” He challenged journalists to do enough investigation about the mystery surrounding the collapsed building, saying: “I also have a story for you journalists. The man told us that there was a plane moving.
What stops journalists from getting to NCAA immediately to know if there was any plane hovering at that time and what airline?” But President of the Building Collapse Prevention Group, Mr Kunle Awobodu, a builder, who claimed to have visited the site at the weekend, said that foundation problem might be responsible for the collapse.
According to him, the main building has revealed that the structure was increased from six to nine floors, adding that the collapsed structure was increased from two to six floors. Awobodu wants to know the agency of government that gave approval for the building, saying that his group was trying to compile its reports and will make it available soon.
CORBON reacts
The Council of Registered Builders of Nigeria (CORBON) has urged the National Assembly to urgently pass the bill for the enforcement of the Nigerian National Building Code. Apart from this, the council, through its Chairman, Professor Kabir Bala, is urging all state governments to quickly pass and enforce enabling laws to conform to the minimum requirements of the building code to end incidences of building collapse.
Bala emphasised that the engagement of appropriate registered professionals for the design and construction, who can be sanctioned in case of default and strict enforcement of building control regulations, will take the country out of the woods. He admonished Nigerians to begin to protect themselves by demanding that only the appropriate professionals engage in their development works, saying that Nigerians should not leave their safety to government alone.
He said: “In simple terms, they should ask questions with respect to their building projects development: Is the architectural design done by a registered architect? Is the structural design done by a registered engineer? Are the electrical and mechanical designs done by registered engineers? Is the management of the site execution or the construction process done by a registered builder? These questions remain relevant even when Nigerians are contemplating new building developments. “Our heart goes out in grief to all that have been affected by this incident. These are our immediate reactions. It is hoped that investigation in the days ahead will answer some questions.”
Worried by the spate of building collapse in Lagos State, Governor Babatunde Fashola, had in 2013, constituted a Tribunal of Inquiry on Collapsed Building, chaired by the immediate past Chairman, Nigerian Institute of Architects, Mrs Abimbola Ajayi, to look into the issue and ways out. The six-member tribunal, in its findings, identified weak implementation, as well as deliberate flouting of regulations and gross corruption across board as factors hindering the effectiveness of construction and building laws.
Presenting the report, Mrs Ajayi said that 130 reported cases of building collapse between 2007 and 2013 were reviewed while ten sites were selected and visited. She said that the tribunal found the provisions of the laws
regulating the building industry to be adequate, but were rendered ineffective by non-adherence and indiscipline, among others.
The panel recommended short, medium and long term solutions which it believed will be beneficial in checking incessant building collapse. Noting that no professional has been indicted so far in all the investigated cases, Mrs Ajayi pointed out that the activities of quacks and developers were responsible for the high rate of collapsed buildings.

Five riot policemen have been arrested for “unethical practices.”

They were arrested along various highways on the orders of the Commissioner of Police in charge of Police Mobile Force, Joseph Mbu, for improper dressing and other unethical practices.

Three of the errant officers were arrested in Enugu State (MOPOL 3); one in Umuahia, Abia State (MOPOL 28); one in Lokoja metropolis, Kogi State (MOPOL 37), while the other one was nabbed along Abuja – Lokoja Road (MOPOL 50).

Our correspondent learnt that the police monitoring unit, in attempt to arrest three other riot police officers in Umuahia, were allegedly fired at by the policemen, who later escaped.

Although no one was wounded in the shoot-out, our correspondent learnt that one of the escapees was later apprehended drinking in the midst of criminals in Ugbehe, in Abia State.

Mbu said the exercise, which commenced on Friday, “is aimed at completely sanitising the PMF and mopping up the shame it has brought upon Nigerians”.

He said, “We want to do away with old men in the PMF. We are working towards demobbing old men who are up to 50, 60 years old in the PMF.

“With this exercise, we will stop our men from embarking on illegal escort duties, and we will no longer tolerate those of them who dress shabbily, like wearing bathroom slippers while on duty.”

He said those arrested were accused of improper dressing.

He said, “For instance, a mobile police officer was arrested along Abuja – Lokoja Road, wearing only his MOPOL trousers. He was even sleeping with his beret, while his rifle was on the floor.

“The PMF has a clear mode of dressing and its members have a way of conducting themselves. They are supposed to be agile to save a situation at all times.

“As the Compol, I decided that the ethics be instilled. The Inspector-General of Police supported the initiative and we set up an ethics, doctrine and monitoring team, and the call order was to arrest any of them found wanting in the dress code of the PMF. Even if they are escorting anybody and there is no authority, we demand that they be arrested. That is what we are doing now, going from state to state, and arresting the erring ones.”

Speaking to foreign dignitaries in Tehran, IRNA news agency cites Ali Khamenei as urging Muslim world to resist control by 'hegemonic powers.

The main issues the Muslim world is faced with are the fate of Jerusalem and of "oppressed Palestine," Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said on Sunday, adding that Muslim nations must avoid inner conflict and stand united against Israel and the control of "hegemonic powers."

Khamenei's comments came following a series of recent back-and-forth comments between Israeli and Iranian officials, coming amid continuing debate on the possibility that Israel may initiate military action against Iran's nuclear facilities.

On Friday, the Iranian-backed Lebanese group Hezbollah said it could kill tens of thousands of Israelis by striking specific targets in Israel with what it described as precision-guided rockets.

"I tell the Israelis that you have a number of targets, not a large number ... that can be hit with precision rockets ... which we have," Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah said in a broadcast speech.

He said he would not name the targets and did not say whether the rockets were newly acquired weapons.

Addressing worshippers at Tehran University after nationwide pro-Palestinian rallies, an annual event marking Quds (Jerusalem) Day on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said confronting Israel is an effort to "protect the dignity of all human beings."

Ahmadinejad added that Israel's existence is an "insult to all humanity."

Speaking on Sunday, Khamenei was cited by the official Iranian news agency IRNA as telling foreign envoys and officials in Tehran that the "main issues of the world of Islam are Noble Quds and oppressed Palestine, which have become more important thanks to the Islamic Awakening."

"All Muslim governments and nations as well as political and cultural elites should be watchful of the dangerous plot to cover up the main issue and the attempts aiming to blur realities through fanning differences in Muslim Ummah,” the Iranian Supreme Leader said, in an apparent reference to the ongoing debate concerning Iran's nuclear program.

According to the IRNA report, Khamenei accused Muslim states of allowing "hegemonic powers" to determine their fate, accusing those powers of creating what the report called "the cancerous tumor of Zionism in heart of Muslim world."

In what he said was an attempt to counter the western attempt to cover up Jerusalem and Palestine as the key issues in the Muslim world, the Iranian Supreme Leader said Muslim governments and nations, especially the political and cultural elites as well as intellectuals and religious Ulimas should define facts and realities for Muslims.”

The Iranian Supreme Leader's comments came after, last week, Khamenei said that the "light of hope will shine on the Palestinian issue, and this Islamic land will certainly be returned to the Palestinian nation, and the superfluous and fake Zionist [regime] will disappear from the landscape of geography."
