Counting up to my fav: ( * indicates that this movie is in the 'anime' style)

10 Jin - Roh *
9 Akira *
8 Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back
7 X-Men
6 The Killer
5 Ronin
4 Heat
3 Blood - The Last Vampire *
2 Aliens
1 Ghost in the shell *

There's probably man a good film in there that has been a prime influence in there and REALLY should be given a word (not in the least: Apocalypse Now, Taxi Driver, The Godfather (1 & 2), The Princess Bride, The Terminator, Predator, and last, but not least, Wings of Honneamise*)

[mp*lennon]

*sigh* another long list

In order of preference:

1.Hana-Bi (the best japanese movie ever)
2.Yojimbo (best Kurosawa film, altho Seven Samurai is nearly as good)
3.Bullet in the Head (Woo's best movie and my favorite Vietnam movie ever)
4.Wings Of Honneamise (best anime ever IMHO)
5.A Better Tomorrow (Woo's second bloodshed film)
6.American Beauty (Kevin Spacey is the man)
7.Leon (my fave Luc Besson film)
8.Fallen Angels (weird HK drama by Wong Kar-Wai)
9.Ghost in the Shell (just brilliant)
10.Eat.Drink.Man.Woman (best Ang Lee movie ever)

Runners up (in no particular order):
Blade Runner, Stray Dog, Bad Taste, Face/Off, Hard-Boiled, The Killer, Akira, Rurouni Kenshin: Ishin No Requiem, Sonatine, Lock Stock and two smoking barrels, Chungking Express, Taxi Driver, Platoon, Dr.Strangelove, Clockwork Orange, Fight Club, The Bridge, The first two Godfather movies, Carlitos Way, Rashomon, Violent Cop, Ninja Scroll...I think that's enough

Honourable mention:
The four Rurouni Kenshin Original Video Animations. The best 120 minutes of anime ever. But since they're techically not movies, they didn't make the list.

Yeah, I like asian films a lot. Especially anything by John Woo or Beat Takeshi. Kurosawa´s films are great too..

arghhh how could I forget Beat Takeshi. ANY movie by "Beat" Takeshi Kitano (Hana-Bi, Sonatine, Violent Cop - likely the best living Japanese director) -mpLennon hit the nail on the head with him.

[mp*lennon]

Beat Takeshi is the man!

Coffeycan: Yeah, Beat Takeshi owns! I like the ambiance that's in most of his films..kinda relaxed, but his movies are really exciting because they are so unpredictable. You never know what's going to happen, unlike in most hollywood movies which are way too predictable. Also the violence is very realistic...and pretty horrifying.

And they have loads of classic scenes too of course... Like the chopstick scene in Hana-Bi, or the fireworks battle in Sonatine...and Sonatine's end scene (Takeshi walks to a Yakuza building with a M4 rifle...and the film doesn't show the actual firefight)

And they have memorable lines too:
"I'm so afraid of dying that I hate living"

 

[Getta_1]

1. Robocop
2. The Iron Monkey
3. Drunken Master 2
4. Hard Boiled
5. Full Metal Jacket
6. The Shawshank Redemption
7. Gamera: Guardian of the Universe
8. Starship Troopers
9. Once Upon A Time In China 2
10. Good Fellas
