I really enjoyed Last Samurai, It's probably going to be difficult to market that type of movie to both countries and make everyone happy, but I think they did an admirable job.

Letters from Iwo Jima was really good as well. I particularly enjoyed the extras on the DvD.

I never saw Kill Bill as a Japanese movie so eh.

There is a novel out called "All you need is Kill" that shows Americans in a positive light, American military no less. It's a pretty action based read wich I enjoyed.
