Indonesia is one. (A big surprise to me. I think a large part of it is the tourism industry; lots of Australians go there.)

Philippines is one.

I don't know the exact standard used by the list I saw.

So the correct ones so far are

US
UK
Nigeria
India
Germany
Indonesia
Philippines

Two left. I never would have guessed either, although after I heard one of them, I figured out why they had a large number of English speakers, and also immediately realized why I'd overlooked them. A hint might give it away, though.

So Zohran Mamdani won the NY mayor race with nearly 50% votes at 49.6%; Cuomo came second with 41.6%, and Sliwa came third with 7.9%.

Philippines?  Former protectorate and high population made me guess that one. 

Also I'm a little curious the standard for "english speaker".  A B1 by the CEFR ratings, B2?  I assume they mean spoken ability too, not reading/writing.  Japan for example has a very low percentage of speakers of English, but a notably higher ability to read/write (though they still won't make the list, I'm quite confident).

"Spider-Man: Homecoming" (2017)
Following his introduction in "Captain America: Civil War," Tom Holland's first solo Spidey film finds the web slinger balancing his troubled high school life with his crime fighting. Former "Batman" Michael Keaton is the villainous Vulture, who's been stealing alien tech from Tony Stark to create high powered weapons for the black market. The youthful Holland fits the Spidey role perfectly and the movie keeps him leaping from one impressive action set piece to another. Lots of fun.

^ he looks like he could be Ashton Kutcher's dad in this. (maybe he is? ew).


TOO YOUNG TO DIE? (1990)

weirdly I buy two random films in two days and they both have Juliette Lewis in them... here she plays a young girl from a broken home who is kind of forced out into the streets, where she soon meets a young man played by Brad Pitt, of CUTTING CLASS and TOO YOUNG TO DIE? fame. He tries to turn her into a stripper even though she's 14, and she gets angry with him. - It was at that point I tapped out, because it was just dull... bit like a 90s version of Linda Blair's 70s tv movie-cum PSA things, but minus the cheese. You can tell Lewis is a good actress though. 4/10
