As I've said before, enjoyed them all and it was more a question of those I enjoyed a little more than others.

The first three to be revealed were the ones I had the hardest time ranking on my list. I knew my top three, as well as my bottom two, but numbers 4-6 really could've gone in any order. I ultimately had After Life fourth, A Hen in the Wind fifth, and Kamikaze Girls sixth.
Though I'm not personally a fan, I'm surprised Nausicaä didn't place higher since its a beloved film. I appreciate Miyazaki as an artist and visionary, but for some reason I just can't get into most of his films. I did like Nausicaä more than some of his other work, but it was also the only nomination I couldn't watch in one sitting; I had to walk away and take a break. I thought it would be my #8 film but I ranked it higher than Hana-bi because of its stellar soundtrack.
Hana-bi was last on my list, but that doesn't mean I dislike the film. There's a lot about it that I find interesting, and as I was writing my review I found myself growing fonder of its eccentricities. However it ended up being another example of appreciating a film more than I actually enjoy watching it.

Man, I wish I had been aware of these a bit earlier. I would have loved this.
I know there had been talk about a South Korean HOF, and I’d love to join that one as well. I’ve been on a South Korean cinema kick lately and have enjoyed what I’ve seen so far. Oldboy was amazing, for example.

High and Low MAY take this. I'm pretty happy to have made it to the top 3. AND with one that was a first time watch when deciding on a movie!
I'm rooting for the opposite order asThe Third Murder is the only one from my top three that's still alive.

Same for Hen in the Wind, though I did had it lower in my ranking, not out of dislike, it was the first Ozu film that truly kept me enrapt throughout.
Rather enjoyed that there were a number of revelations in regards to directors, for me, in this HoF.
And I get what you're saying about Hana bi; my appreciation grew during research and in retrospect even more than during my viewing. Though I am pretty certain I'll be rewatching it - especially with my roommate who's also a big Takeshi fan.

And yeah, whenever someone mentions SK, Oldboy is usually mentioned, for good reason.

Yeah Nausicaa was my #2 so yeah I'm a little shocked at it's low final spot. I don't think I really recall my other rankings but I know I enjoyed that one.

I’ve watched plenty of Japanese films, especially Kurosawa films. But I have yet to see High and Low. Such a lost opportunity 🙁
Next time.

I grew up on anime, so I wouldn’t have been fine with it. But it isn’t for everyone, that’s for sure. Nevertheless, I’m Surprised by only one being nominated.

I’ll probably nominate more in the future in general HoFs. I have a feeling you’ll like most of Miyazaki’s films, he’s a director with as much of a stamp as Tarantino or Scorsese or anybody, and in my top ten of all time.
