logboy

Tekkon Kinkreet (dir. by michael arias, from studio 4C);
USA and UK both get Blu-rays on September 25th 2007

Infernal Affairs - HK Blu-ray is out there, as is 'Warriors of Heaven and Earth'.
Amazon lists pre-orders on 'The Messengers' (Pang Brothers), 'Final Fantasy : Spirits Within', 'Memoirs of a Geisha', as well as having listings for ''Curse of the Golden Flower', 'Banleiu 13', if any of those count other than the last couple.

flashburn

Also, don't forget "Kung Fu Hustle".

Coral

Great idea for a thread.

R1 really needs some more foreign films, the list is quite small.

Logboy, I don't think The Messengers, Final Fantasy or Memoirs of a Geisha are considered foreign films. They have foreign directors, but are US made films in the English language.

pro-bassoonist

List updated guys!

Pro-B

ps. Memories of a Geisha and the likes above I believe fit the same criterion as Babel...and I did not include it.

Josh Z

Room With a View is an English language production.

bjh_18

Tartan US will be releasing Oldboy on October 23rd.

Ralph Jenkins

Did you mean to omit Japanese releases?

Currently available on BD in Japan: Innocence, Wings of Honneamise, Patlabor 1 (all with English subtitles). Wings of Honneamise will be released by Bandai Visual in the US in September.

Coming soon: Akira, Avalon, Jin-roh, Patlabor 2, Ghost in the Shell

KevD

Drexl

I think he's counting that because it's not an American production.

Josh Z

Then the list should also include other British films such as The Queen.

PerryD

And Planet Earth?

Drexl

Well, PE isn't "cinema" since it wasn't shown theatrically (AFAIK), but yeah I guess The Queen should be there too.

PerryD

okay, how about "The Descent"?

pro-bassoonist

Titles updated!

Thanks.
Pro-B

Drexl

I suppose so.

PerryD

I think my (less than obvious) point was that I agree with Josh Z in that foreign films (in the U.S. point of view) generally means non-English speaking foreign films.

I think the Academy Awards follow this rule also, as I don't think I've ever seen a movie from England or Australia get nominated, and the only Canadian films that get nominated are French-speaking films.

But I do find this list useful, although I'd recommend splitting out imports into a separate list. I assume that the imports are all playable in the U.S.?

Drexl

I know. I was just playing along.

Josh Z

Officially, the Oscar category is called "Best Foreign-Language Film", so English-language productions from foreign countries are not eligible.

I'm unsure whether foreign-language productions from the United States (such as Apocalypto or Letters from Iwo Jima) would be eligible. If they are, I can't think of any that were actually nominated.

Ralph Jenkins

That's Wings of Honneamise. The Japanese title is Oneamisu no tsubasa, or Wings of Oneamisu.

fausti

Haha, Ralph, you caught this before I did! Oneasmith still doesn't beat my favorite bastardization of the name...Wings of Honeymaise! Sounds like an order of buffalo wings! XD

buckee1

Sux that Hero has no English subs.

Harry Lime

Thanks for the work you're putting into this thread Pro-B.

RyoHazuki

Anyone have an hd-dvd list?

printerati

I really hope Wings of Honneamise gets the treatment it deserves, especially in the video department.
