You should get on that quickly. It's the best trilogy ever.

Awesome. The only gangster films I really like are Korean. Have you seen A Bittersweet Life? It's another one I hold in high regard, although it's not on my list.

Yep, the cast is awesome. Bittersweet Life is another Jee-woon Kim with Byung-hun Lee. Or whichever order those pieces of name go.

And why not?

I've always dug Ikiru. It's such an emotional experience, and incredibly well-done from all angles. Mostly. The first half is a little slow in spots, especially when Kanji is brooding. Still, the second half is amazing, and I love the last shot of Kanji in his park.

yay, both was terrific combi , Urutorabiorensu

My favorite scene is when all the business men try and take credit for his good acts during his wake. It was just a great demonstration of narcissism, it didn't go over the top but it just packed that great punch that you don't normally see in films.

And while it's not my favorite Kurosawa film (High and Low is) it's still a remarkable film.

I'll jump into it soon (y)

1.Ikiru
2.The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
3.Star Wars
4.No Country for Old Men

YES! If you take a look right now in the "Movies you're watching tonight" you'll se that I'm planing to rewatch A Bitterswweet Life tonight! =]

Never found the DVD...
=/

Nice cross section you have there, Pants.

And I obviously can't count.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
No Country for Old Men
Life of Brian
Raiders of the Lost Ark

I've only seen 6 films on your list and I don't think any of them would go on a favorite list of mine.

These would be my 4 choices from the list:

All Quiet on the Western Front
Life of Brian
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Star Wars Episode IV New Hope

Oh . Sucks...

There are a plethora of good scenes in Ikiru. Take your pick, and you're almost always right (I have a bit of an issue with him not telling his kid, but that could have been embarrassment now that I think about it). It's an excellent film.

High and Low is quite good, too. I've seen it a couple of times, and I quite like it. Have you seen Kurosawa's contemporary version of Hamlet?

Thanks, Dani! Yeah, some people just aren't so good at arithmetic. My folly is spelling. I already spelt three words incorrectly in this reply, but I caught and fixed them.

Hooray! I don't typically pay attention to that thread, because I never plan movie-watching - I just do it. But, hey, if you're determined to watch A Bittersweet Life again, who am I to argue? I encourage it because the movie rocks.
