You should also give the classics a try.

The above mentioned titles plus a catalog of titles by Akira Kurosawa come to mind. I highly recommend Yojimbo, Throne of Blood, and Kagemusha to name but a few...

If you like Horror, check out the Original Japanese "The Grudge", called Ju-On. Additionally, there's a movie about a phone message that kills, (or something like that) that was seriously creepy.

hi all, i just finished watching 'Cyborg She 2008' and found it awesome. i really liked the style of it. it's the first time i've ever seen a Japanese movie and was wondering if there are any other Japanese sci-fi movies i could check out?

thanks

Great film. My wife and I also thoroughly enjoyed it.

I recommend you checkout Yamato (animated or the recent live-action film) if you want to watch Japanese films with spaceships.

yasha-ga-ike, the English title is Demon Pond, revenge tragedy, love, demons, curses, a fun movie.

Daimajin, evil Samurai warlord and a statue that is inhabited by a vengeful god of war. Lot's of fun.

Also, Inagaki's Samurai Trilogy, the life of Miyamoto Musashi is great fun.

I especially recommend the first film in the Trilogy.

Now we know where Mr. Miyagi learned how to catch files with a pair of chopsticks!

Demon Pond is from 1979, Daimajin movies is from 1966, there is a Daimajin TV series made in 2010 which is set in modern times. I haven't seen it so I couldn't say how godd it may or may not be. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimajin_Kanon

I'm looking through these suggestions again as I'm really enjoying Japanese films right now.

I finished watching the two 'GANTZ' movies and these were awesome!

 

[ReadyAndWilling]

I haven't seen a Japanese TV show so I'd like to check one out!
