Even though Japan has produced the most amount of high quality cinema, I'm going to suggest stuff from other countries just for variety. For anons wanting some jap recommendations, try:
Ugestu (1953) dir Mizoguchi
Tokyo Story (1953) dir Ozu
Dreams (1990) Kurosawa
Chase Rogers
im going to watch these later
Sailor Suit and machine gun
Typhoon club
Jackson Gray
>Sailor Suit and machine gun
good taste. I recommend Lady Snowblood
Joseph Ross
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is pure kino
Cameron Garcia
"Lust, Caution" by Ang Lee
Oliver Hernandez
Agreed. You should check out Touch of Zen if you liked CT,HD
Adam Parker
thanks, I'll watch it
Christian Brown
Obligatory recommendation Memories of Murder (2003). Korean kino
Liam Davis
>he enjoys the films of Seijun Suzuki
Ian Sullivan
they're trash but so enjoyable.
Joseph Hernandez
Have you seen Thin Ice, Black Coal? It almost supplants MoM.
Jacob Carter
mirai was the finest film of the year along with first man
Logan Peterson
Ice Black, Thin Coal is good, but not on the same level as MoM. I'm not sure if China has a film like MoM that compares. Much like Korea has nothing that compares to something like Ashes of Time
Dominic Anderson
Good movie.
Jacob Stewart
good taste user. I recommend Departures (2008)
Isaiah Allen
I wonder if jap actors get tired of playing the bad guys in every historical Chinese and Korean film.
Their armor/uniforms were cool af though
Logan Robinson
They probably long to return to the imperial days
Easton Rodriguez
i'll add it to the list
Grayson Fisher
If you guys want a classic Hong Kong thriller, watch Fallen Angels (1995). Most have already seen it but if you haven't its kino
Luke Clark
>Song of the Exile (1990)
Luke Brown
I'm also looking for more films like this. Similar aesthetic. If its in Mandarin thats a plus. Would love some recommendations of contemporary asian film. Not sure whats circulating at the international festivals these days
Christopher Adams
I hated this while recognizing its quality. One of the best endings I've seen too. I don't know why I just couldn't stand the film. It felt like it was lecturing me for some reason. I'll have to give it a rewatch
Luke Foster
It's probably because the mother is presented as such an insufferable person, both past and present, but then are expected to empathize with her. Which I do, but regardless, I understand your frustrations.
Colton Sullivan
>Lady Vengeance (2005)
Ethan James
>Comrades: Almost a Love Story (1996)
Connor Johnson

The Good, The Bad and the Weird is a good popcorn flick with extreme violence.
Cameron Howard
This has a very dreamlike atmosphere to it. Great, meditative movie. It also has a 40+ minute single shot halfway through, but the first half is still entrancing as well.
Brayden Jenkins
This one was disappointing after Oldboy. Saw it today for the first time. I have Sympathy for Mr Vengeance on hand as well and hear it’s even worse.
Charles Martinez
Michael Ross
CUTE!
Anthony Cooper
What did everyone think of Shoplifters? I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Jacob Kelly
Is he /ourguy/?
Cameron Miller
Unironically yes
Henry Cook
crouching tiger hidden dragon. literally best fight scene since They Live piper vs black guy in an alley.
Matthew King
>asian?
Thomas Gray
SABU!
That dude is a light-hearted, chinese Tarantino (or just post-modern shit in general) mixed with Kitano, but watch Drive, Monday, and Postman-Blues--- all wacky as hell.
the director and all his characters are based
Kayden Reed
>no tampopo
Are you guys all too cool for school?
Bentley Jackson
>Ebola Syndrome
Exploitation kino. Fact.
Hunter Stewart
Caught the Twilight Samurai recently. Nice to see a relatively recent Samurai film that doesn't emphasise action at all. I'd recommend for those than enjoy comfy yet somewhat depressing period dramas.
Samuel Ortiz
probably not what OP had in mind but this shit fucking wrecked me
Joshua Johnson
I recently watched the documentary Our Time, Our Story on the Criterion streaming thing about the New Taiwan Cinema movement. Any other good Asian film docs?
Leo Lewis
MDYD-433
Ian Evans
any movie that has Simon Yam playing a triad member.
Anthony Young
here this white cuck looking guy reviewing asian movies.
Eli Jackson
I'll see your Red Lantern and raise you one the Blue Kite
Blake Bell
ChungKing Express feels like the correct follow up for this film, even though they are not much related in tone.
Cameron Price
may as well stop pretending and just watch "chinese hoes love glory holes" by alina lee
Aaron Evans
Where my Hong Sang-Soo lovers at? He is one of the last directors left that has a truly recognizable style to him and most of his most recent movies where really good. I recommend Right Now, Wrong Then as an entry point
Cooper Long
Alice in Earnestland
Justin Howard
Spider Forest 2004, there is no other asian movie like this.
