fav jmovie live action

Liverleaf. It's gore though.

Quote from Alex_Murphy

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!

For live action this one is definitely one of my favorites!

I also really enjoyed Lesson of the Evil!

Cutie Honey, Battle Royale and Lady Snowblood.

Still find the guy who played Kawada hot af

Battle Royal!

I actually really liked the Death Note live actions (not the Netflix one obviously). I think Kenichi Matsuyama did a great job as L. Nothing can compete with the anime, tho..

Rurouni Kenshin is good
