Takashi Miike's magnum opus. He should have retired afterwards.

Tora, Tora, Tora

Recommendation threads are shit. No discussion and I'm sure no one ever watches the movies that are recommended

>>84191063
Naruto

Branded to KIll. Absolute insanity.

>Kagemusha
Probably not the best of Kurosawa's Jidaigeki films, but it might just be my favorite.

Yojimbo. The camera work is probably some of historys best.

I do but I've already watched everything mentioned ITT

A Page of Madness

Should I start with Ozu? Kurosawa? I'm more into 'substance over style' but maybe they're both great places to start

I watched New Love in Tokyo last night which felt almost good. Seemed like the last twenty minutes were filmed in the last day of filming. The dominatrix scenes were well done at least.

>>84193767
I found it rather boring

>>84194875
Your initial reaction to Ozu might be that it's all style and little substance (it's the other way around actually). You can start with Seven Samurai, Woman in the Dunes and Harakiri.

>>84195098
Thanks for the recc's friend, I'll start there.

>>84191765
the movie sucks and people only ever post the dream sequence when they talk about it, even though it's like a couple minutes long

>>84195281
What sucks about it?

>no one has mentioned Koreeda
Anything by Koreeda is GOAT. I don't think I've disliked a single one of his movies.

A Story of Yonosuke, Norwegian Wood, and Yellow elephant are also really enjoyable films. Solanin too, but that's not exactly kino.
