AntMovies by country: Hollywood, Bollywood, South India, Japan, China, Spain and France

The Country menu is the heart of AntMovies. What each country shelf holds, how a title's country is set, and how country and language work together.

The Country menu

AntMovies put Country in its top bar beside Genre and Top IMDb, and that menu is still the fastest way in. The country page lists thirty-one countries of production, and every title card carries its country beside the year, so a shelf of Hollywood releases and a shelf of Bollywood hits read side by side at a glance.

The big shelves

Hollywood and American TV is the deepest: Reacher, Lioness, NCIS, Grey's Anatomy, Criminal Minds, The Office, Breaking Bad and this year's releases. Bollywood and the Indian originals comes next, with Dhurandhar, Jawan, Pathaan and the Hindi series, and the South Indian shelf gathers the Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam blockbusters that travel the country in Hindi dub. Japan is anime and the Japanese films, China has the Ne Zha films and The Wandering Earth, Spain and Latin America has the Culpables trilogy, France has Anatomy of a Fall and Portrait of a Lady on Fire, and the United Kingdom has Slow Horses, MobLand and Doctor Who.

How a title gets its country

The country on a card is the country of the companies that made the title. A co-production carries every partner, so The Three Musketeers: D'Artagnan appears under France, Germany, Belgium and Spain at once, and a British-American series such as Slow Horses sits on both shelves. That is deliberate: each shelf shows everything its country helped make.

Country and language together

Country answers who made a title; language answers what the actors speak. The languages page sorts by the original soundtrack, which is the better way in when you want Spanish or French dialogue whatever the passport of the money. The two pages together find almost anything: Bollywood by country, Hindi by language, and the South Indian films by either.

A route through the shelves

Start with the country you grew up with, then try one shelf you have never opened. The cards look the same everywhere, the red HD ribbon on the corner and the title, country and year across the bottom, so a Chinese blockbuster sits as naturally beside a Hollywood one as it did on the site this one is named after.
