What japanese movie other than anime is your favorite?

[Beloved Suki]

:D For me I would have to say that Moon Child is one of my faves not because it is produced and starring Gackt also starring Hyde from L'ARc~en~Ciel. Hyde's movie Kagen no tsuki or Last quarter, I didn't really like for hyde was barely in it. XD I also enjoyed Death Note's movies still have to get "L Change The World". Battle Royal was awsome too

[nanafan]

i can't say i watched any of those.. i have seen quite a few japanese movies, probably the nana live action movies, lovely complex live action, that's all i can think of atm.

[Misaki]

Battle Royale is awesome ! XD
but i love deathnote tooo~ ! :3

[kibou]

i've watched Azumi and that's it :D
most of the time i watch anime :thumbs:

[sakura]

i like watching japanese movies!but the ones i have watched are quite old!but really nice!
my favorite is 'seppuku'!

[Beloved Suki]

I just got this one and it ia called "Shadow fo the Wraith" it has the singers from Doggy Bag or D'Bag in it, it is a two part movie, I thought it was ok the storie line could be better though.

[laterarecta]

yapa!!!!....the battle royal....very brutal but a really good movie...(and not for the kids..i suppose:D)

[tupac115]

"the ring" is the only jap movie i ever watched.pretty decent....

[TheEclipse]

Death Note counts? Nice. Death Note it is, then. :D

Didn't matter that it was based on the manga, I just found it's direction and own original material for the movie was all well executed. Loved the Light's portrayal and L's quirkiness.

[muffin]

i love watching japanese movies specially the scary ones there alot better than the remakes they do in the u.s but thats just my opinion but my favorite so far would have to be apt or rattle rattle

[The Ferryman]

I haven't seen many Japanese movies, but for some odd (very, very odd) reason, I really liked Zebraman. It just sort of mixed cheesy B-movies with how they're viewed in real life.
It's also probably the strangest movie I have ever seen.

[DustPebbles]

If live action, then Ricky-Oh.
Nothing can beat it.

[Duecenage]

The Death Note movies were really good, but Battle Royale is my favourite on that list.

But this poll is lacking in the Toho Monsters department, cause even on top of all that Godzilla is one of my favourite movies of any nation, it even went up on the list with the original Japanese version of the film!

[KingKongDeLong]

Kung Fu Hustle greatest Kung Fu movie ever made and one of the best movies ever made in my opinion.

[Jcoss Minato]

Azumi was awesome you should see it.

[XxRaVeNBlooDxX]

The Death Note Movies are awesome :D
But Azumi 1 and 2 kick ass! :x3:

[fullblue]

I have not watch that much, so I can't really decide :scratch:

Kung Fu Hustle greatest Kung Fu movie ever made and one of the best movies ever made in my opinion.

That is a Hong Kong movie :D

[nanafan]

hmmm kamikaze girls was good, can't think of any others..

[Riian-Taicho]

D:
It's not on the list, but if we're going non-anime.
I say...
The Last Samurai!
Most EPIC japanese movie EVER! xD

[Asamoya]

I like the 2nd Higurashi live action movie the first one was really LOW budget, but still fairly good.

I also bought Ichi the other day and it's one of my favorite movies! :D

[Vegeta Syed Putra]

I haven't watched Death Note. There was one I remember. The title was Versus. It was cool and scary at the same time.

[Neyjour]

I voted for Death Note on the poll, but some of my other fave Japanese movies are:

Heavenly Forest
Hula Girls
L: Change the World
Laundry
Summer Time Machine Blues
Train Man
Waterboys
Cyborg She
The Great Happiness Space (documentary)
Azumi
Battle Royale
Crows: Episode 0
Dororo
GO
KIDS
Moon Child
Waiting in the Dark

[Mikel-kun]

I was between Death Note and Battle Royal, but I've seen Death Note twice, and Battle Royal only once xD

[KaibaXJou]

Let's see. There's Death Note, Blood: The Last Vampire and Nobody Knows (It's not related to anime but It's a Japanese Drama).

[MasamuneSephiroth]

Death Note was the only movie i watched in the pole :lol:

[shadow22cat]

I'd definitely say Battle Royale, out of those choices. It was awesome! :D

[IIsALionRAWR]

A movie called Tokyo Sonata about a boy who plays piano and a whole bunch of other stuff (:
It's a really great movie, I reccomend everyone on here watch it ^^
And of course I like the Death Note movies and thw Higurashi live action movie, but they might not count ;D
