ONLY RELEASED IN JAPAN

Some films on laserdiscs were only ever released in japan , these are some that I would love to own.

The Cell ,mission impossible,The limey,xmen,u-571,The Sixth Day
The Beach,The Sixth Sense,Stigmata,Titan ae

I would still prefer to own a USA release but if the film isnt available then a japan release is the only other option, the one I want most is U-571.

anyone know of any other must own films that are only available in japan?

The one that's been tempting me lately because of the reportedly fantastic picture quality is Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. I just can't bring myself to let such a poor quality film into my collection though...

I'd say fight club would be a good one to have in the collection. 8mm was jap only and is pretty good if you like Nic Cage. There's quite a few more jap only releases but I'm not sure they are must own (depends if you like the film or not I suppose)
Probably one jap only title that should only be in the most dedicated collection is Police Academy 7: mission to Moscow. Rubbish movie.

Also on a side note, I see a sealed copy of the Cell sold last week on lddb.com for $1250!

Good call on Fight Club, another one that I'd love to get hold of but rarely comes up for sale. Another one like that is X Men, I've never seen it go for less than £250.

I stumbled across this one whilst browsing on ebay , I had no idea that this film had been released on laserdisc. I have been watching quite a few british films lately so thought I would snap it up and it arrived in the post yesterday. Seems odd that such a popular film was never released in the us or uk.
