I've been giving a lot of thought on what people will nominate and I wouldn't be surprised if two films from that top ten would make it. And mine isn't one of them ;)

I have a feeling you won't like mine for some strange reason :rolleyes:

I think rauldc said Friday, or at least that's the deadline for nominations.

I don't know. I have a strong feeling what your nom might be and I don't necessarily hate it (assuming I'm right, that is).

So we have 8 nominations now! I think it will be a cool little Hall of Fame.

I've begun to write the review for my nomination because I'm excited for this HoF to get started. There's an embarrassingly large number of Japanese films I saw years ago that I don't remember (or never even knew) the names of, so there's a chance that I might rediscover something here haha.

Please can we have the

I'd never seen a sponsored ad for movies on Facebook before, but it just gave me an ad for a Japanese film from 2011, and if it turns out to be one of the nominations, it would be a pretty funny premonition coincidence.

It has been like 5 years since I been in one of those and back then we didn't have to re-watch the movies we already knew, only watch the ones we never watched before.

Since we have another day, anyone want to guess the breakdown by decade, or how many Kurosawa films will be nominated?

I'm expecting half the films to come from the 50s and 60s, since there's a number of great Japanese films from those decades. I'm going to guess that we'll see at least 2 of Kurosawa's films as well. I think my nomination will be the most recent one.

I still think we're getting little more modern films so I keep my 3 B&W prediction (not exactly the same as 50s and 60s but close enough). I actually think we'll have at most one Kurosawa (in my predictions I have 2x Anime but to be more specific my prediction is 2x Anime or Anime + Kurosawa).

60s or older - 3
70s - 1
80s - 1
90s - 2
00s or newer - 1

Siddon 11-02-19 04:45 PM

Ikiru (1952)
Tokyo Story(1953)
Godzilla (1954)
Woman in the Dunes (1964)
Kwaidan (1964)

It is written "Mononoke", ;) which means ghost in Japanese. I have not watched Branded to Kill yet. Looks fun.

My nomination is a live-action movie from the 2000s by the way, but it contains some animated segments.

I think that Japan has produced a ton of great live-action movies in the last 20 years, although it is true that the quality of direction is lower on average than in Mizoguchi, Naruse, Ozu, and Kurosawa's movies.

Love Mononoke and hope it gets nominated. I've seen zero... yes, zero Japanese live action films, but I'm looking forward to watching some good ones hopefully!
