A Hen in the Wind
1948, Directed by Yasujiro Ozu Nominated by Rauldc14 This could, very well, be my first Ozu. Since, while I recognize a couple of his films, I cannot, for the life of me, remember if I have viewed them. Making this an intriguing introduction. Especially after reading up on it on
IMDb. Loved the description in the first review. I'm pretty d@mn excited about this one.
Harakiri (aka Seppuku)
1962, Directed by Masaki Kobayashi Nominated by Edarsenal This one is mine. Discovered it when searching for a nomination, and it called to me. Watched. Loved it. Excited for a secondary.
I have an excellent link for it from a very safe site. I'll message it out to everyone for any who may end up wishing it. Including you too, CR..
High and Low
1963, Directed by Akira Kurosawa Nominated by Siddon A Kurosawa I have not seen, so doubly happy about this. So, YAY.
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
1984, Directed by Hayao Miyazaki Nominated by Ahwell And now, an Anime that I indeed SHOULD have and have not seen - quickly turning this into a list of "F@ckin AWESOME!" aka YAY.
And continues. . .
Hana-bi
1997, Directed by Takeshi Kitano Nominated by Pahak- and kicks up a serious notch into F@CKIN YAY!!! with a Kitano I've been aching to see since seeing the comments regarding it in the 90's Countdown, along with
Sonatine. I had my fingers crossed someone would nominate one of these. God bless YOU, pahaK!!
I f@ckin LOVE Kitano, and this was a top desire to have here.
After Life
1998, Directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda Nominated by ScarletLiob First off: who's ScarletLio"b"? And what happened to ScarletLion? Are they a surrogate?
I may have seen this. And IF it is that one - The Yayying-thing-a-ma jig is a-dancin!
Kamikaze Girls
2004, Directed by Tetsuya Nakashima Nominated by Guaporense This is completely new, and the description has severely captured my attention and imagination of where such an organic scenario and unique characters explore. Add to the fact that this from Guap -- that imagination is excited as all f@ckin get out!
Deserving another holler out: YAY
The Third Murder
2017, Directed By Hirokazu Kore-eda Nominated by CosmicRunaway And we end with another unknown but equally enthusiastic to check it out.
Here endeth a pleasantly delirious YAY session with a Cosmic film. YAYYYYYYYYY
A truly, truly, fantastic set of nominations! I am SO going to enjoy this HoF. A remarkable diversity of high-quality films. Kinda feel like throwing in another YAY. . . lol
