The List: Foreign films
An incomplete list, but I thought that I'd post it so that I wouldn't forget. More to come.
Gojoe
Charlie Chu gave a brief review that really sold the movie for me.
"You should go track down a bootleg copy of Ishii's GOJOE. Tadanobu Asano as evil samurai prince who runs around killing a SHITLOAD of samurai dudes. To the point where the bulk of the movie is comprised of long tracking shots along the tops of the forest with sporadic blood geysers shooting up from them.
Madness!
Ping Pong
Based on the manga by Taiyo Matsumoto, Ping Pong is an epic sports film comparable to Shaolin Soccer. Being fueled by the hard beat music of Boom Boom Satellites adds fuel to a considerably interesting fire.
the Happiness of the Katakuris
A mix of my two favorite genres, musicals and over the top Takashi Miike madness. Claymation, songs about killing amd a man that believes he's the son of Princes Diana, this film is one that I'd love to watch with a bunch of friends, to gauge their reaction. I want to know if they think that I'm mad.
City of the Lost Souls
Takashi Miike's action opus dedicated to love. After seeing the trailer on my copy of Audtion I have become convinced that this is going to be possibly the greatest action romance film of all time. I want to see it for the fabled cock fight ala Matrix as well as the ping pong fight... to the *death*. Since it's coming out on Region 1 DVD, I'll probably be able to pick this one pretty easy.
Dead or Alive: Final
Because I'm a completist. When I scrounge up the money, I'd love to buy the Dead or Alive trilogy and watch 'em all back to back
