your favourite japanese movie?

[TigermusiQ]

I've loved all Studio Ghibli films that I've watched, and I'm on a mission to see them all. If I absolutely had to choose my favorites among them, then I choose Kiki's Delivery Service, Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, and Howl's Moving Castle.

Damn I don't know how I forgot about Howl's Moving Castle that's one of my favorite films in general. (Christian Bale is a damn good actor too).

i didnt know what happened...after i watched that movie i got freaked out and kept thinking the "cat boy" is going appear beside my bed. i cant seem to forget his dark unhuman eyes and the way he acts. i know it sounds dumb rite? but no kidding it freaked me out the whole month. definitely kept me captiviated from beginning to the end of the month....didnt really know why...

I love Ju-On, I got the boxset. I dislike the American remakes it loses it's charm by making it lighter and trying to explain too much rather than leaving it to viewers imagination. It's the same with the 'Ring' trilogy.

That is why I love Japanese and Korean horror so much more than Hollywood ones- they are bloody eerie! They also don't have the predictable storyline with a "happily ever after" ending either. I guess I just have a passion for the sinister side of film!

Yeah if it was Asian in general, then the whole Vengence trilogy would be up in my choices too. Tale of Two Sisters too. Tale of Two Sisters is probably my all-time favorite film.

*Agrees* Also 'A Tale of Two Sisters' is one I've been meaning to purchase also.

Looking through my DVD collection and this list it seems I may have chosen too hastily... One that a mere edit may be too small to rectify (OK)
