@idjutt: Yes because Aoi sanmyaku was released in two parts and this is the second part. Long films were released in multiple parts back then due to runtime restrictions.

Now that it's been added to IMDb you could replace Four Love Stories (1947) with just the Naruse short: http://www.icheckmovies.com/movies/wakare+mo+tanoshi/. It's also the only part available with English subtitles.

I just finished going through all the films in this list and it's possible to see at least 465 films with English subtitles. If anyone was wondering... Bronze is achievable!

I think this would make a great double feature with the Czech New Wave film Who Wants To Kill Jessie? (1966).
