76. Harakiri (1962)
To me this is a pure masterpiece, one of the greatest Japanese movies ever made. I like the way the story was told, in that it jumps back and forth in time, making for an intense and thrilling ride through the history and morals of this tale. It's samurai movie with a twist - it doesn't glorify the samurai code of honor, it instead criticizes it. The acting isn't great, but it doesn't really matter as the camerawork is so good that you can hardly notice. Just a wonderful, wonderful, movie that I will definitely return to in the future.
