hi! would anyone who knows some good Japanese films like to list & describe their favorite ones? and i don't mean anime or Bandai Corp. films. i've only really seen about the second half of Yojimbo (1961) by Kurosawa, but i'm curious to see more films by Kurosawa & other prominent directors from Japan. |

Seven Samurai is awesome of course. Toshiro Mifune is THE badass. Yojimbo is probably my favorite, and the ''sequel'', Sanjuro is pretty good too. And Roshomon... Mifune and Kurosawa were joined at the hip. is also pretty good, but I'm really not familiar with many Japanese directors. You hear about all the Kurosawa films, but not much else... And of course Battle Royale is nice. |

there's a bunch of directors you should hit up... -Suzuki Seijun (ie: Branded to Kill) -Kenji Mizoguchi (yay ophecks... glad people can come up with more than just contemporary hyper-violence films... most of which are cool... but are far from the best things japanese cinema has to offer) -Takeshi Kitano (ie: Kikujiro) -Hiroshi Teshigahara (Woman in the Dunes... one of the most beautifully shot films i've ever seen) -Nagisa Oshima -Shohei Imamura (ie: the Pornographers) |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah kurosawa is the greatest, i can honestly say that of the 16 films ive seen by him, theyre all great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
only really japanese movie ive seen was rashamon, which was ok. the movie itself is kinda dull, but the whole premise behind it is really cool. |

madadayo (kurosawa's last film that he directed) is a great film too. the perfect ending of a great career. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
see "tetsuo: iron man", the most sick and intense japanese film ever made. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

virtually any movie by Takeshi "Beat" Kitano including: Hana-Bi Sonatine Brother Kikujiro but not boiling point, the only takeshi movie i don't like. oh yeah, as mentioned above, Tampopo is great. not a Takeshi film but its hillarious. i've seen it many times and it always cracks me up. |
