Five?
Hmm, I haven't seen too many, but Here are some.
The Samurai Trilogy( awesome movies, classic)
The Street Figther( if you dig cheesy violence and camp)
Postman Blue(I think that is what is was called, very unique/ cool movie I think)
Gamera Trilogy(The new one, especially 3)
That's all of the top of my head, but I hear the Returner is worth a view.

If you're talking about the trilogy by Inagaki Hiroshi, I totaly agree.
Other jidai-geki to consider would be Yojimbo, Sanjuro, and Shichinin no Samurai (Seven Samurai)...
If you're talking about gendai-geki, consider Tokyo Monogatari (Tokyo Story), Ikiru (To Live), and Akahige (Red Beard)...
I recently watched a J-movie called "Kakuto" starring Iseya Yusuke, Terajima Tsusumu. It was 'awesome' and hilarious too, in the sense of their wittiness. :mrgreen:
Hey guys do any of you watch movies done by Akira Kurosawa? I remember watching Dreams and Ran way back but I hear that his best film is actually the "Seven Samurai" or the "Seventh Samurai" I think. I couldnt seem to find it in the local BIC and DVD stores here in Sapporo and I'd really want to see it.

Shichinin No Samurai (Seven Samurai) is one of his most famous films if not the most famous film, but there are other Kurosawa films which are as good, if not better:
Kunomosu Jo (Throne of Blood)
Ikiru (To Live)
Rashomon
Yojimbo
Sanjuro
Akahige (Red Beard)
Kakushi Toride No San Akunin (The Hidden Fortress)
There are others, but these are the ones that come to mind... :)

Yep, I liked it so much, I've seen it twice.... :D Check this thread: http://jdorama.com/viewtopic_1458.htm
Recently watched Zatoichi..Quite dissapointed...I expect more cool fighting scene
For Samurai Trilogy even it is taken from a Novel Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa,,The movie still can be made more precisly..maybe if somebody in Japan remake this one with technology like now it 'll be awesome cause the storyplot is already great.

Bsalez, how did you watch zatoichi, I don't wanna have to wait for a dvd release in the states since it won't come to theaters in my state.
And does anyone know the release dates for Cutie Honey, Devilman, Tetsujuin 28, Casshern, or Zerbraman.

Kitamura Versus 1.5-II and Godzilla
http://www.fangoria.com/
Having just come off making the splatter-packed AZUMI, a smash hit in its native Japan, director Ryuhei Kitamura looks toward his next release: an updated version of his popular, hyperactive zombie/gore flick VERSUS. gIfm releasing ULTIMATE VERSUS soon in Japan. I reshot some scenes two months ago; this was four years after originally making the film. I took the cast and crew back up into the mountains and shot an additional 10 minutes, which have been re-edited into the movie. It works great?I had fun with AZUMI but not as much fun as I had when I made VERSUS.h
However, fans will have to wait a little longer for an official sequel to VERSUS, although Kitamura does maintain that it is on the drawing boards. gThe sequel! Ah yes, Ifm working on it,h he assures. gItfs just a matter of when I make it. I will have my first U.S. movie come out next year, and then do a sequel to VERSUS for 2005 or 2006.h The good news for fans of the first film is that Kitamura plans to have VERSUS 2 follow the adventures of the original filmfs star Tak Sakaguchi . gVERSUS is now very famous all over the world, so it is no longer a problem to get money for VERSUS 2. I was in hell making VERSUS because I had no money at all, but first things first?I have to make my next Japanese movie this year. But if I have time at the end of this year, then next year you will see VERSUS 2.h
Hehe. Sounds interestin, Versus_2_let_the_action_action :hehe:
Hopefully we get to see Hideo Sakaki resurrected from the death. I just like his acting :)
