spank me with the "LAZY NOOB" paddle, re: Netflix -

OK so I subscribe to Netflix, but its mostly for my kids, I don't spend much time browsing on there. I figured they would have some selection of "foreign" films, didn't think to check for Japanese films. I figured there would only be a small number of artsy foreign films, maybe a few dozen of all languages.
The selection for japanese language films isn't too deep, less than a hundred. But we should be able to find a few there.
That japanese amazon thing is kind of a drag for me, but more frustrating for my girlfriend.
I live near Milwaukee and there certainly is not a large Japanese population at this time. Ten - fifteen years ago there were lots more university students from Japan, now more of them are from Korea.
There is at least one Korean grocery store that has a few hundred Korean language movies to rent, but no Japanese store/movies available that I know of.
So Netflix will give us an adequate start. Next mission is to find american made movies with japanese language, whether dubbed or subtitles.
