Wow, what a great thread with so many wonderful posts! I'm sorry to say that after a lifetime of viewing films I am terribly remiss in my viewing of Japanese cinema. I didn't have a chance to see many films when I was young, and when I was older I just saw a few now and again, not sure why. It's clear I have missed so much.

Of those I have seen, however, there are many that I love, especially these:

The Burmese Harp
Dersu Uzalala
Raise the Red Lantern
Woman in the Dunes
Kwaidan
Rashomon

Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions and comments, everyone. And thanks for starting the thread, Aj_June.

Yeah, this thread has given us a whole new look at Japanese cinema. Thanks to the kind members for sharing their views.

You have listed some great movies Spiderwort. I have not seen Dersu Uzala but I would very much like to see it in the near future. Kwaidan was such an awesome movie. I almost felt like being in those times in Japan while watching it.
