I figured this would be a good 友 for the drama thread.
Besides the typical "everyone knows about them" Japanese movies like Seven Samurai, Mononoke Hime, Spiritied away... yadda yadda, what movies would you recommend looking into? Also, why?
I was talking to Chris lately about some semi-crazy Japanese movies and it got me to wondering what other movies might be worth checking out.
One I'm going to take a peak at (which is semi-Japanese Movie ish I guess) is the Great Happiness movie about male hostess clubs. It is a documentary but looks interesting. I saw 10 minutes of it on google video and it was quite interesting (although a bit depressing)
