i once saw a Japanese horror movie on uk tv. the wizard zombie floated (or was on roller boots) and as he tried to catch the normal people, he floated/glided toward them, it was very horrific'ifying. |

Onibaba, I love that one. That's in my TOP 10 Films of Ever. And I really like Dark Water, watched it again a couple of weeks ago. Norwegian Wood bored me, but then I didn't like the book that much either ( I'm all about 1Q84 and would like a film of that) |

I don’t have much knowledge in Japanese cinema, except the obvious like Kurosawa. I do love a lot of anime, Ghibli like freckles said, I love Akira, I remember it blowing my mind when it came out. |

I remember really enjoying Old Boy, but that’s South Korean I think, and I thought Dumplings was great but it’s Hong Kongese. |

these i recommend from memory: tampopo (cooking and slice of life) woman in the dunes (quite odd and kept me thinking about it, really liked the imagery) fish story (fun) watched a few others this year, from a top list of modern japanese cinema 100 yen kabukichu love hotel still on my list: 2046 Bakuman Flying Colors Have a song on your lips Like someone in love Maestro japanese animation now that would be a whole other thread, full of good bad and ugly. never been a fan of the horror, but from the few i saw and their trailers, there seem to be a whole lot of japanese flicks out there that present quite different supernatural stuff that makes one feel uneasy. much more subtle and sometimes the sound alone can make your hairs stand up. in short i feel i gotta give credit to its originality. the surreal has more of that inescapabilty of a bad dream. |

I love Japanese films - a fairly well-known director who is different is Sion Sono: his newish film Tag is very interesting, although Why Don't You Play in Hell? is probably my fave of those I've seen. I also love Kurosawa and the Zatoichi film series, plus old yakuza films such as Branded to Kill, Tokyo Drifter, Youth of the Beast, The Yakuza Papers series, etc. |

Check out Suicide Club. Loads of schoolgirls preform a mass suicide. It has supernatural elements, and well, schoolgirls. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Based on what you've watched you should deffos watch swing girls, Linda Linda Linda, himizu, love exposure (both by the director of suicide club/tag) and all about lily chou chou from my recommendations above umbro. Do you read any manga? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Love exposure is about 4 hours long btw but it's sion Sonos best film imo. It's about the transvestite 'god of upskirt photography who sins to get attention from his priest father taking on a cult. |

Same director as Tag and Why Don't You Play in Hell. "apart from youtube and soulseek where's the best place to download japanese movies?" Best trackers would be passthepopcorn, karagarga and avistaz, which is a tracker just for Asian film & television. |

But I need help to improve my English writing and speaking skills. I'm looking for someone mature and serious person who help me in English language. I just thinking, maybe you have some spare time to help someone. I'm 39 years old married woman living near Scottish Highlands. Kind regards." haha, very funny guys |
