and I hated both of them

I've seen lots of them. Lots of Kurosawa of course. Lots of Kenji Mizoguchi too which I like very much.

A favorite movie series of mine is Zatoichi which tells the adventures of a blind masseur who happens to be a great swordsman despite his lack of sight. He travels the roads and villages of Japan and always ends up getting involved in yakuza clans shenanigans.

Masaki Kobayashi's Harakiri (1962) is an absolute classic too.

Other recommendations:

Lady Snowblood (Toshiya Fujita, 1973) starring the amazing Meiko Kaji

Love Letter (Shunji Iwai, 1995)

Kamikaze Girls (Tetsuya Nakashima, 2004)

And of course, lots of animated movies!

live action :)

I got in before the change up lol

I don't think I've watched a live action jmovie...

Quote from jinaland

those are both live action remake of popular animes i guess ?

i think these animes are really hard to make it as live action

I agree

Quote from jinaland

but if u read the comments

what have u been doing

but I'm not interested...

I've stuck to Chinese stuff and western stuff for the majority of my life

Quote from jinaland

u should watch

ofc the great ones there are lots of bad ones too

give me some recommendations (along with a general plot or genre)

Quote from jinaland

Akira Kurosawa films are great, some of it remade by us, such as 'Seven Samurai" as "The magnificent seven" etc. The cinematography are great, his films are about morality, heroism well more than that since i have watched only 2-3 films from him, but he is one of the most influential person on film industry.

I would recommend his movies such as Yojimbo, Throne of Blood etc

Battle Royale - in a nutshell its Hunger Games, but this film was released even 8 years befoe the Hunger games novel, very disturbing film, but reallly great, the atmosphere & feel is very different

action/thriller

The world of Kanako - this is also very disturbing film, desperate father tries to find his missing girl, but his girl had way different life he has imagined,

thriller/drama

As the gods will - this one is very entertaining movie, i have watched yesterday, basically high school kids play death game

horror/sci-fi

tag - this one is about a woman who travel through alternate realities that ends in bloody carnage

horror/action

alex has some good recommendations too

Quote from jinaland

i knew it there is no way someone havent watched any japanese movie

You got to remember my friend i'm old so my memories are a bit lacking. ..

Now that you mention it i've probably seen a lot of jmovies...

Some godzilla ones I remember

My wife showed me one I really enjoyed now that you mention it

It's called kikujiro and I really like the music from it which was why my wife showed me the movie in the first place...

Quote from jinaland

i was very little when i have watched that movie

i have only remembered that movie after u have mentioned it and seeing some pictures of it thanks

it's a really good movie

And the song/music i'm going to listen to it now lol
