    I had always thought that "Bollywood" was the "market leader".

    Is it not the case that "Bollywood" produces about 8 times more movies per year than Hollywood does.

    Or do we ignore that because it's across the water and they speak some funny foreign language type thing.

    What about the big "Kung Fu" studies in China. They must produce a fair few as well and have a reasonably large audience.

    Let's not forget the 'Carry On' movies. On second thoughts, let's.


    P.S. what the hell is going on with this editor. All the words kept 'bunching' up and the cursor is 'jumping' all over the place.

    My apologies, I didn't know Bollywood made more money. I still don't think they make more movies though. We have tons of straight to DVD releases....some actually pretty good movies.

    Movies like

    Pulp Fiction
    Aliens
    Star Wars Empire Strikes Back
    and even Frailty

    have no foreign rival to speak of.
    pulp fiction is overrated

    aliens (after the first one) are crappy and play on that same goddam storyline

    star wars only joking - just not my sort of film
    Wha wha?

    You didn't like James Cameron's Aliens?

    You seen Frailty?

    Stir Of Echoes
    The Salton Sea
    Blade

    Bollywood is the biggest money making mass producer of movies in the world. It caters for one billion people in India alone.

    Bollywood makes more movies. I read an article in National Geographic about it, Bollywood doesn't make as much money as Hollywood because their ticket prices are much, much lower.

    I don't think Bollywood makes more money than Hollywood. Not by a long chalk. But that's not what JP was suggesting.
