Another pretty good movie in the "subtitles" category is "Fires on the Plain",made in Japan 1959. The movie takes place in February 1945 on the Phillapine Islands, and revolves around several rag-tag Jap soldiers who are facing either starvation, suicide, or.......... The title is your hint. I had to turn the sound off completely and just read the subtitles. After a while the sound of angry Japanese voices got on my nerves, but this was an important movie, for it was one of the first so-called "anti-war" movies made in post-war Japan, a country that was being run by it's military until the war ended. Worth renting.
