1946 Top_5_Movies

(Notes on Top_10_Movies since 1946)
In 1946, the publication of Kinema Junpo has restarted (also the Top_Movies selection).
However, the number of the movies produced in 1946 was only 80 or so. Thus, in 1946, Top_5_Movies were selected.

From 1946 on, negatives and prints of most Japanese movies have been preserved in the original form.  So, the "Survival Status" is omitted　except for the unfortunate rare cases. Instead, the information of DVD availability is added.

(*) Japanese DVDs are not subtitled.
(*) The region code of Japanese, UK's, or French DVD is "2".
(*) The format of UK's or French DVD is "PAL".
