Lol there all on my first message.

All of the "Zatoichi" fillms. The old ones and the new one.

I haven't seen many Japanese live action movies.

So far I have seen Battle Royale, it was a bit bloody for my liking. But it was interesting.

My favourite film is still 僕の彼女はサイボーグ (boku no kanojyo ha saibo-gu) I think it's also known as Cyborg-She - Anyway, i still have to find a film that can beat it so far.

Out of anime movies i would say アキラ　(Akira) is still my favourite.

Great i should look into that.

If you are in America, you can usually find "Kikujiro" at Blockbuster, it's a pretty good movie which shows an interesting side of Japan. Another movie which I like is called "Enlightenment Guaranteed". It's not a Japanese movie, but a German movie filmed in Japan. It's hilarious, I've watched it several times, and I still like to see it from time to time.

Otherwise, there aren't a great deal of good Japanese movies. I too enjoyed the Zatoichi films, and a couple of the other ones mentioned here, but the majority of Japanese films are too contrived, or bizarrely neurotic. Thankfully most theaters here show many western films, which are generally more popular than films produced in Japan.

I was looking for more like movies only available in japan or anywhere else thats not in america.

Machine Girl was a funny movie. :]

Suicide Club, The Great Yokai War, Battle Royale I & II

the grudge2! i had seen most terrifying japanese movie .if any one saw it can't stay in his room!

Tokyo Pop, Nana, Death Trance, Wild Zero:Guitar Wolf, Vital, and... Shinobi: Heart Under Blade.
