I’d avoid the 2005 American remake, I find the Original Japanese better 😛

I’m looking for some new podcasts. Any chance in an article about your top 10 Japanese podcasts?

He stars with Vinnie Jones in Survival Style 5+ (my all-time favorite Japanese movie, I f***n love it!) and in the weirdest film I’ve ever watch – the Funky Forrest (know this?).

Kamikaze Girls (下妻物語) is probably worth mentioning too (just watch a trailer).

Oh, and Still Walking (歩いても 歩いても) with Hiroshi Abe.

Damn…. anybody aware of a place in London where one could borrow or watch some Jp movies? *Waaaaaaaant!*

I also enjoyed Swing Girls (2004) and Linda Linda Linda (2005).

Outside of this timeframe, I’d recommend ハウス. It’s a horror film from the 70’s, but it’s unlike any horror film I’d ever seen. It’s just a weird, amazing movie.

I loved the social satire of Suicide Club, but Noriko’s Dinner Table left me with so much to think about. It’s my favorite Japanese movie.

Departures was also really good, one of my favorite Japanese movies. 

The Taste of Tea was a pretty awesome movie. Very quirky, but I liked it a lot.

Though I ment the links to description – so that I could decide what to watch.
I know mysoju. Just for you, in case you might be interested in this source: letswatchsomething . com for streaming, tehparadox . com (needs free registartion) for downloads (though mostly western movies).
