One of my favorite movies is "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" starring David
Bowie, Tom Conti and Ryuichi Sakamoto. It's been out of print for years, so
I set up an eBay search for it.

I finally found it - as "Feliz Navidad, Senor Lawrence". Cheap. It was the
correct region, so I bought it. Put it in my computer to rip it and read up
on foreign language versus alternate language subtitles. DIalog is in
English, and subtitles are in Spanish.

There's a lot of Japanese dialog that drives the story, so watching it and
trying to translate Spanish subtitles of Japanesedialog was quite a mental
chore.
