I've been watching lots of Japanese dramas and I love them but recently I've been wanting to sit back and watch my favourite (or old favourite but now just amusing) American films. I could just watch them normally but I still want to be practising Japanese and besides, it's sort of fun watching your favourite movies in foreign dub (once watched Harry Potter in German, super fun, and my German teacher showed us Nemo in German so many times over 5 years that English Nemo just seems wrong to me).

Anyway, since I can't afford to import Japanese DVDs since they're really expensive even without shipping, I was wondering whether there way I could stream American movies dubbed in Japanese. I live in the UK btw. Thanks.

Well, there's always the asian torrents site. (To get asian movies and dramas, dunno about dubs)
And also this site http://pepe6868new.blog113.fc2.com/(Is in japanese, just use rikainkun and chose the bilibili.com site to stream if possible.)

You could always just watch the original audio with Japanese subs.

searh FC2 video for 吹替 and you'll get a lot of tv shows and movies dubbed into japanese. mostly american, but some chinese and korean also...

you can watch the free version to a certain length per day, but if you want to pay $10/mo you can get watch in slightly higher resolution as much as you want. it's worth it in my opinion. i have downloaded a ton of movies, ripped the audio and loaded it up into my iphone to listen to.

examples of a few movies i've found there:
all star wars
AI
amelie
american history x
austin powers (2 movies)
black hawk down
blade trilogy
diving bell and the butterfly
dogma
donny brasco
enemy of the state
event horizon
falling down
gangs of new york
il postino
iron man 2
johnny mnemonic
lock, stock, and 2 smoking barrels
minority report
neverending story
outrage - quite good yakuza movie!
pacific rim
predator
public enemies
rainnman
saving private ryan
sector 9
snakes on a plane
new star trek
star trek next gen movies
new superman
terminator trilogy
davinci code
the grey
the patriot
the sopranos tv series
the usual suspects
transit
etc.

and that's just what i downloaded recently. there's a lot there, you could spend forever looking. enjoy.

If'n you're in Japan hulu.jp has dubbed movies and shows.

FC2 all the way.
All the newest releases (sometimes before the DVD even comes out to buy), lots of them in 720p (if you know the uploader), tons of American/British dramas, almost every Japanese TV show/anime and even porn if you want it. Mp4 format and very easy to "save" stuff.
Worth every penny of the subscription fee if you like movies.

Thanks. FC2 is pretty good stuff! There's still a couple of films I was looking for that I can't find though, so if anyone has any other suggestions, please do continue to post them.

You could try Perfect Dark or Share.

What films are you looking for?

hehehehe... well sometimes when my brain feels like its melting and everything feels like a bad idea, I like to watch Twilight. It's stupidity is soothing to my dumb brain and it reminds me of being 11 (when the 1st film came out). Recently I've been doing such intense kanji study that my brain frequently melts and when I saw a clip of Jdubbed Twilight online I loved how much better the voice actors made it sound. So... I want to find Twilight. Don't judge me.

Harry Potter would be good too, because it reminds me of being much younger than 11 and I am a nostaligia addict, even though I'm still young so my nostaligia isn't even significantly long away...

Maybe Shrek...

Oh okay, I thought I might have them but unfortunately I don't. I've seen all of them on FC2 though so if you keep looking they'll be uploaded before long I'm sure. Especially Harry Potter which seems to be on TV every other month here and when it is, it gets uploaded.
