can we have a classic japanese movie thread?

Been getting into Zatoichi lately, might watch the fourth one tonight. How is the Kitano one?

Can't really pick one, i probably between Kurosawa, Ozu and Kobyashi but all have many i love.
Also Mikio Naruse doesn't really gets enough love.

Does Terayama count as classical?

I've been (slowly) working my way through every Kurosawa film. So far my favorite has been The Bad Sleep Well. Absolutely incredible.

Shuji Terayama? Probably not, patrician taste though

While I can watch and love all the classic Samurai and period pieces almost indefinitely, Ozu's unadulterated... Ozuness... has to take the cake. I can't rewatch them as frequently, but they're virtually all utterly distinctive and contemplative experiences.

You guys know where I can find a decent copy of Emperor Tomato Ketchup? The quality of the one I have is kinda shitty.

hands down best Kurosawa

Japanese version of Unforgiven. I think the director is Korean Japanese. In my opinion it beats out the original Eastwood movie by a bit.
