Reading of names

[Roger Macy]

The penultimate FAQ in Aaron's and Markus' new 'Research Guide to Japanese Film Studies' (sale still on at Michigan, until Aug 15th)
http://www.umich.edu/~iinet/cjs/publications/index.html
  is 'How do I figure out transliterations for Japanese names?'  Unfortunately, it's the longest, and most guarded answer in the list. 

Basically, the message is - don't rely on one source, not even the Kinejun Nihon eiga jinmei jiten volumes.

  if you google you can find many but I don't think there is a complete japanese names dictionary online.You should look at ca'foscari university library (Dipartimento Asia Orientale Palazzo Vendramin)

    I apologize if this topic has already come up (a thousand times, maybe), but I was wandering if any of you had a good source for the reading of kanji names (of the eiga-kai). The best would be the reading in hiragana.
    I find some, the famous guys, on wikipedia, but what about all the other names? Every time I try to write a good filmography, with cast and credits, I have the same old problem. Moovie.goo has some reading, but the "difficult" names are always lacking...
    Thank you,
