Cool, I would look forward to that. I don't hate anime btw and it's nice to see diversity in the general HoFs too.
Princess Mononoke is a must see as well
Yes, for sure, I’ll be nominating that for something down the road.

I remember liking Spirited Away as well even though I didn't much care about Nausicaä.

I’ve seen quite a few of the Dragon Ball Z anime that were released theatrically in Japan, but were released on dvd here in the US. Ghost in the Shell. Vampire Hunter D films. A few others here and there. None of those compare to Studio Ghibli films.
Ghost in the Shell came close.

Ok, fair winner. I didn’t love High and Low but it’s a solid film and Kurosawa needed a win!

I rated High and Low at 5. Didn't care for it all too much, but still not a bad winner. Congrats Siddon.

High and Low DEFINITELY deserved the win and that's saying something with so many excellent films in this HoF

This was a nice touch doing the reveals like the countdowns through a few days. Added to the conversations as we awaited the results. VERY cool, @rauldc14.
And, of course, a HUGE THANK YOU for Hosting!!!

CONGRATS @Siddon on the win!!!

1) High and Low
2) Hana-bi
3) Haraki
4) The Third Murder
5) Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
6) A Hen in the Wind
7) Kamikaze Girls
8) After Life

Being my #1 film, I was obviously rooting for Harakiri to win, but High and Low is a solid winner as well. :up: Congrats Siddon, and thanks for hosting Raul! I'm glad the technical issues you were having with the site seem to be cleared up now.

This was my list:

01. Harakiri
02. The Third Murder
03. High and Low
04. After Life
05. A Hen in the Wind
06. Kamikaze Girls
07. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
08. Hana-bi
