Oh, Actually, I like the story...

My Asian Favs are:

1. A Tale of Two Sisters
2. Cure
3. Kairo/Pulse (The us remake sucks SO hard *bleh*)

Never watched Ran before, but I love Kurosawa's Rashomon. Exemplary cinematography and storytelling.

I learned Akutagawa's short story "In a Grove" in
middle or high school before I watched Rashomon.
So I knew the 'plot' of the movie.

I knew Shakespear's "King Lear" through Ran.

It might makes preference order though I like both.

Oh man, don't even get me started on Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon... XD

My folder for the series is at 15 gigs now, and there'll probably be more as I continue to download videos of the actresses from Arctic Knight. PGSM is my second favorite J-Drama (my first being Akihabara@Deep, although it's much harder to find 'omake' material for that series).

The Korean film "My Sassy Girl" is my favorite of all time. Funny, sad and romantic; makes me cry everytime damn it.

Hollywood is going to remake it and ruin it like they did "The Ring"

One more

Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht (Herzog)

I thought a chorus piece in late part of the movie
which Kate Bush inserted her Hounds of Love album
was made by Popol Vuh (Florian Flicke).

But it was actually Gregrian chant.

Linnéa is headed in the right direction
Default

Z - Costa-Gavras (political thriller from the 60's with yves montand - i saw it the first time when i was thirteen and it was what started my interested in politics)
Lost in Translation - Sofia Coppola (this movie changed me, to the better. i saw it for the 200th time two days ago and it still touches me to the core)
Annie Hall - Woody Allen (charming, witty, cute without being altoo full of clichées - what more can you want from a love story?)

+ lots more but i can't remember any right now. maybe i'll post more later.
