Japanese films, anyone watch them?

Me, I love anything with Toshiro Mifune in them as you know it's going to be a cracker also just been tucking into the absolute great Shintaro Katsu as the blind masseur who is also a master swordsman, I can't get enough of them.
A short taste of Mifune:

Possibly the best sword fight of all time

Well, our very own Takashi Miike is one of my favourite directors of all time. Visitor Q, Audition and Ichi the Killer are some of my favourites by him.
Satoshi Kon was superb but sadly died before he could make a huge amount of films. His film Paprika is one of the greatest of all time and I still don't fully understand it.
Most of the Ghibli films are worth watching.
Kurosawa's filmography speaks for itself.
I'll check out your ones, Cough, can't say I'm too familiar with them.

joey, you must check out Yojimbo, the film that A Fistful of Dollars was based on, cracking movie with Mifune at his best

Oh sorry, I couldn't view the links at work. I've seen Yojimbo, it is superb! My favourite Kurosawa film is probably Rashomon although it has been a long time since I've watched it... I prefer his more serious films.
I don't think I've seen a bad film by him.

- Some of the classic one mentioned
- Not much of Miike but his Ryū ga Gotoku Gekijōban is fun. I was a fan of the games it was based many years ago. Majima Gorō is a great character though Miike makes him too gun heavy.
- Lots of "bad" monster stuff, just saw
Godzilla VS Megalon
again recently. Fun with a group of people.

I've got Rashomon but haven't looked at it yet, I've heard it's good though, same with Throne of Blood (Macbeth)

There're loads of films on Youtube of Shintaro Katsu as Zatoichi, just search for Zatoichi, you won't regret it

Studio Ghibli and such but have yet to get around to it.

IOC, I'd recommend Spirited Away to start with. Some of the other better Ghibli's include Princess Mononoke, Grave of the Fireflies, When Marnie was There and The Tale of Princess Kaguya.
Other selected non Ghibli anime films
Paprika
Ghost in the Shell
Akira
Cowboy Bebop (should probably watch the series first)

Ring and The Grudge pt. 2 are 2 of the very few films I'd describe as genuinely scary.
Fantastically made.
The US remakes are fucking terrible and everyone involved should be fired into the sun.
Never seen The Audition but meant to be brilliant
Anyone and I mean anyone who watches anime is a weirdo.

Toms, I see that film has Takeshi Kitano in it, should be good, as he took over the Zatoichi role from Shintaro Katsu, another fine actor
