My favorite Seijun Suzuki film. I have the Criterion release of it. I don't have too many MOC films though.

For foreign films you have to grab the IMDB main title name in the foreign language.

However you hit upon one of the big issues with their search engine. Anything that is too generic in a title comes up with way too many search results. Normally a search engine should allow the use of + or "" to help narrow results. It doesn't. Now their "Order by:" would help if you have an upgraded account (checks or year of release would make it easier to find). I don't so it doesn't.

The work around is this: take a look at the URL for the IMDB title: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2088003/combined

copy tt2088003 and put that in the icheckmovies search engine. You now get the Big Game movie.

Thanks :) I think see the problem now, the submit buttons at the bottom appear in IE but not in Firefox for some reason.

Thank you :)
I pondered whether to order the Alfred Hitchcock USA essentials set, but apparently the NBNW disc loses the isolated score the single disc has :? Maybe I'll get Psycho if its cheap

Ordered Lady Assassin, a Vietnamese martial arts movie that apparently has an old-school (well 80's/90's) HK feel and sounds fun

Girl's Junior High School DVD Box

Finally decided to take a risk on this. Managed to grab it for 8500 yen... figured it's never going to go cheaper than that. Now just hoping I'll like the films.

That's because they often use the original poster art. Well, it depends on the studio, but Toei usually does.
