I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but does anyone know of any (good) movies with Japanese audio as an option? I'm not talking about buying them from Japan, which I know you can, but the normal American version including a Japanese audio track. A lot of DVDs offer French or Spanish, and I've seen a few Bluray movies offering others. I often check the audio language options just to see, and yesterday I found out that I could watch '21' in Thai.
Aside from the obvious disappointment of Japanese not being on the list, it made me hopeful that if I could find a movie with Thai as an option then surely there had to be movies out there with Japanese. It would be great to include them on my Netflix queue if they're out there so I wouldn't have to import or buy anything (beyond the subscription I'm already paying for). So if you know of any, please share.

I'm sorry to say that I've never been able to find any American (Region 1) DVDs with Japanese subtitles. The only obvious exceptions are anime and Japanese movies, such as Kurosawa and the like. As for American movies with Japanese dub track... well, you're best bet is the internet or a local Kinokuniya (or Book Off), though I'm not sure of any in Texas. Luckily, I live right in New York City so I don't have to go far for either of them.
I'll try googling around for you, though. Because when I'm at college I am not anywhere near a Book Off or Kinokuniya, so I would love this option, too. Thankfully, next semester I'll be living in Japan for a semester, so I'll be able to rent movies and rip them to my computer. Speaking of which, if you PM me maybe I can perhaps... uhh... help you out a bit more.
