Camp Argyll's Japanese Cinema Collection

[CampArgyll]

You thought I would stop at these unnecessary studio threads right? well you'd be wrong... this is a section made just for Japanese made films that didn't see major distribution by the biggies Stateside (or in the case of AIP, future major owned studios), usually these would see release from more Independent companies, usually art-house companies like Janus Films or low budget ones that never ended up major owned such as Continental Distributing or Cinema Shares, or in some cases, never at all, sometimes released straight to video, imports can be included if necessary...
