Brother - A yakuza film by Kitano, which takes place in the U.S. - GREAT MOVIE
The house of the flying daggers - a great chinese martial arts movie. |
The Last Samurai starring Tom Cruise is a great movie :)
If you haven't seen it already, DO!!! :D |
Quote:
As for the action and the plot, its ok. And I found it far better that Last Samurai. You really have to be a Tom Cruise fan to sit through that, because not even Ken Watanabe can spare your senses. |
Memoirs Of A Geisha - Absolutely stunning movie, a surefire must-see :)
|
So many recommendations!
I love it. Thank you, I'll watch all of them. |

Romero) The Host (Korean Monster Movie) and last but not least CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, I must warn you, DO NOT watch this film if you are faint of heart, this is a disgusting movie that I only have seen once and that was enough.It was basically shot like blair witch long before that movie ever came to light.BE WARNED DO NOT WATCH IF YOU DO NOT LIKE GORE:eek: , I only list this movie because of how moving it is. Hope this list will help you guys. |
The Pagemaster, slightly old. 1995-96, to be specific.
And, Party Monster. It's a mockumentary of real-life Michael Alig, a self-proclaimed Club Kid in the 80s in New York City. |
The Pagemaster was an absolutely wonderful movie! I remember it so well! :D
The best movie recommendations along the lines of big epic natural disaster action flicks that I can heavily recommend to you (as I'm such a HUGE fan of them myself and own them all on DVD) are as follows :) - * The Day After Tomorrow * Deep Impact * Armageddon * Dante's Peak * Twister * The Core * Volcano |
hmmm this might be a toughy for me since i love horror and gore lol but i think hard candy's a good movie. don't remember it being gorey. it's like suspense i guess. thought it was really interesting. sunshine's another movie i really enjoyed
|
Sunshine looks really good, I still have to see that as of yet :)
I also recommend Wild Hogs for some good humour :D |

|
Collaterel is also another great suspense movie starring Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise...I absolutely love that movie and also recommend it highly :)
|
Vanilla Sky starring Tom Cruise. It's pretty much a dream gone wrong.
The Science of Sleep was good too. I also thought Silent Hill was done pretty well. If you feel like slipping into the horror department for a moment, Salvanas. ;] |
Jumper is another really good action movie :)
|
Do they have to be Japanese? If not, I can give ya some recommendations you will surely appreciate, since I spend about 75% of my daily time a) watching movies I enjoy, b) watching movies my college teachers have said to watch, c) in cinema class, d) out in the street filming, e) studying Film History :)
|
Doesn't have to be Japanese at all.

Panic Room - That movie totally rocks! I saw it three times at the cinema in one week when it came out I loved it that much! :D
|
2046 is a good movie. It tells the story about a writer. He switches between real life and ihs novel. Its really good.
|
Have you seen The Ledgen with Jet Li?, its a pretty good movie, there are some other martial arts films that branch off the movie.
|
Flight Plan - Another great Jodie Foster action thriller, and it's also fairly psychological too :)
|
I don't know if you'd be interested but there is a brilliant Korean film called Musa(The Warrior).
It's an action/adventure/war film which many people say is the Korean Saving Private Ryan. There is some gore as it is an action war film but it's not over the top. You should definately give it a look. |
The Core is another great action movie that I really enjoy watching - In fact, it's on TV right at this very moment here in the UK on one of the terrestrial channels this evening! :D
|
The Hole... >.>
'Nough said. |
Give these a try Oku-san! Hope you like them as much as I did!
Vantage Point The Mummy Series V for Vendetta Firefly/Serenity |
I've also heard that the Shawshank Redemption is meant to be pretty good aswell :)
|
This has zero-to-none relevance to Japanese cinema... moved to General section.
|

American: Air Force One Indiana Jones series The Generals Daughter Murder at 1600 The Replacement killers Rush Hour series Frequency Outbrake The quick and the dead (western) Mr. McClintock (old western, as in John Wayne old) The good, the bad and the ugly (western) Blade Independence day The Rock Pretty Woman Asian: Phone Infection (some slight gore....and its green too) The Dorm Versus Death Trance Marebito (wierd ass movie....its interesting though...if you can make sense of it) Lion, Tiger, Gate Premonition Carved |

Not sure if anyone has mentioned, but The Great Yokai War, Shinobi: Heart Under Blade, and Uzumaki are all good movies as well. Along with Paprika, for animated movies. And Batman: Gotham Knight. |
i made this documentary about how much i miss my hubby.
you should watch it sometime. |
where to watch? youtube?
|
Salvanas, do yourself a favor and watch Blindness.
Then go read the book. Then watch the movie again. Rinse and repeat. |
A recent movie NOT to see is "Disaster Movie."
Went to see it with my wife because we wanted some light entertainment. Stupid, stupid, stupid. |
