Just like I dont consider Lord of the Rings to be New Zealand cinema.

Okay then, how do you determine what is and is not "national" film? Who needs to be Canadian on the production for it to be Canadian? Does it matter where the money is coming from? Who the producers are?
While I agree with you that a film like "True Lies" shouldn't be considered Canadian cinema because it was partially shot here, it's a difficult question, and something the Canadian film industry has struggled to answer even for itself.
