I'm making copies for someone and was wondering if someone could recommend some good Japanese movies. Preferably the romantic comedy type. Or any good movies would be appreciated.

So far, I'm going with the default ones:
~ Tada, Kimi wo Aishiteru (Heavenly Forest)
~ Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu (Be With You)

Well, all the movies I've traded with you are good imo. :hehe:

The 48 Tora-san movies are kinda like romantic comedies, but their appeal is strictly to middle-aged and older audiences (I know because I fall into that demographic). Btw, Yamada Yoji, the director/writer of the Tora-san series, has made many other movies, all of which are worth viewing.

Suo's Masayuki's 1996 film Shall We Dance? is close to a romantic comedy, and it's definitely a superior movie in terms of script, cast, and execution.

In recent years, the two Always films have an element of romance in them although that is not the primary focus of these well crafted films. (your buddy Kohinata Fumiyo appears in both if that's any consideration)

The following Mitani Koki's films--Radio no jikan, Uchoten Hotel, Minna no ie, Magic Hour--have elements of romance interspersed among the comedic mayhem.

Koreeda Hirokazu, who is currently a favorite among western critics, made a jidai-geki film in 2006--Hana yori mo naho--a sweet, funny, satirical movie about revenge in which the protagonist (Okada Junichi) is distracted from his mission by the presence of the lovely Miyazawa Rie.

Morita Yoshimitsu's 2006 Mamiya Kyodai is a romantic comedy about two otaku-type brothers (Sasaki Kuranosuke and Tsukaji Muga) who try to win the hearts of Tokiwa Takako and Sawajiri Erika. While I wasn't particularly impressed by it, others I know who saw it liked it a lot more.

^ Thanks for the suggestions, shin2!

Wow, I never heard of Hana yori mo naho before. That one sounds pretty good. Nor have I heard of Mamiya Kyodai. I'll see if I can find these. :)

Thank you, I'm gonna start downloading it tonight! :)

Edit: Oh wait there's a page for direct download! But I can't seem to get to the page, says something like "You are not authorized to view this protected entry." I'm logged in and all but still no luck. Well, I'm letting the torrent download. We'll see what happens, thank you again.

Yeah, you have to join Live Journal and probably join that particular group to gain access...

Ah okay, I didn't know about the joining the group part. Pretty new to LJ. :doh:

But yeah, my torrent says it will be done in 16mins. It's been about 5-6 hours that it's downloading lol. ~ 8GB download ain't easy to mess with. :P
