Worst... probably the sequel. I pretend it never happened.

The best Japanese movie I ever saw was Seven Samurai and that probably will never change.

I didn't like Tetsuo: The Iron Man...and I don't really understand why people do.

I have three favorites. The first is The Seven Samurai, which is regarded as pretty much the greatest Japanese film of all time (directed by the legendary Akira Kurosawa). The second is Ikiru, the one movie that almost had me in tears by the end (also directed by Kurosawa). The third is Harakiri, which is just all-around amazing.

All these movies are old (late 1940s/1950s) but they are some of the best movies I've ever seen. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Don't really have a "worst" yet.

lol MMM, I was about to say the same thing about Tetsuo.

I don't really have a favourite J movie but Battle Royale was alright.
Ring was good too. The Eye wasn't bad but I thought The Grudge was Korean?
Koreans make some good movies. (Oldboy comes to mind.)
Seven Samurai was alright. I haven't seen the others that Hatredcopter put down tho
