All movies imported to Japan have Japanese subtitles but are a different region than U.S. America is region 1 and Japan is region 2. You need a region free DVD player or rent the DVD then rip it. You can find out how by googling about it. Your local Japanese Video rental store will have Hollywood movies all brought over from Japan so they are region 2 dvds. If you want to actually buy Hollywood movies you can go to amazon.co.jp which is Amazon in Japan.

Most Japanese movies brought to America have the original Japanese audio and Japanese subtitles in place with the addition of English subtitles and sometimes even an English audio. This time you want the region 1 version( meant for U.S. ) - the region 2( meant for Japan) won't have English in them.
