Re: Asian films old and new: recommendations, discussion and appreciation
My suggestions:
Shichinin No Samurai ( unfortunately a remake is in progress scheduled for 2014, so go and see this now if you haven't already)
Rashomon
and of course Mononoke Hime

Are Rashomon and Seven Samurai your favorite Kurosawa films? Which Kurosawa films have you seen? My favorites are actually Red Beard, Seven Samurai, No Regrets for our Youth, and the The Idiot. Have you watched any films from the other masters of Japan's golden age - i.e. Ozu, Naruse, Mizoguchi, Kobayashi, or Kinoshita?
