Of course, you're forgetting the globalization of the movie industry...it's not just Americans who go to movies these days...or star in them, produce them, etc.

Ironically, at the Memorial Day service yesterday, the two other fellows in our colour guard and I were discussing Peter Jackson's plans to remake the story of Wing Commander Guy Gibson VC, The Dam Busters. It was our opinion that he should leave it to Richard Todd, a real WWII veteran.
