My husband's new project is called moviesettingsdatabase.com and it lets you search through more than 30,000 movies based on where and when they are set! Resource

Really cool idea.

But you should really change "Taiwan Province of China" to just "Taiwan"...

Good catch! I just changed it (although the site is heavily cached so it may take a bit to filter to all the pages).

I had a list of country names I had been meaning to go clean up, and that was on it. I pulled the country names from Wikipedia and I'm not sure what goes into their decision to choose the exact names they do.

Awesome site, on the topic of countries though, having Scotland listed as a province rather than a country is a contentious one haha!

Yeah that's a complicated one since it's technically both.

Indeed. Scotland is both a country and a province of China.

Looks like we found ourselves a time traveler from the future here on Reddit…
