We can`t call all films where one male character is surrounded by multiple girs - take for example honest and heartpierсing Russian film "А зори здесь тихие" (A dawn is quet here).
Yeah, there definitely is. For anime fans it seems to basically mean "loads of girls fall for a guy", which, is actually incorrect. A harem is only a harem as long as the girls agree to share the guy, be it in love, marriage, or whatever. I do enjoy a good harem themed story every now and then, but I feel it's a little degrading to call some of the better stories "harems".

Well, the main difference is that the "harem" genre only seems to apply to Japan. Oh, and I vaguely remember watching that film. Good stuff.
