This is somewhat "cool" list, if mostly unreferenced (and listing many seemingly non-notable documentaries) but even after cleanup I am afraid it fails WP:NLIST. My BEFORE found many sources about Cinema of North Korea, but nothing about foreign films about North Korea (as a group). The broad scope of this list is a problem, as it presumably should also include North Korean films set in North Korea (currently partially covered in the List of North Korean films). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 12:48, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete because it's too broad, including anything at all to do with a complete country. The Manchurian Candidate is included because a minor Korean spy is in it. It doesn't provide much more than Category:Films set in North Korea and Category:Documentary films about North Korea. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:40, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
