    Have you seen The Twilight Samurai? It ranks extremely highly on my favorite samurai movie list.

                You finally watched Clean, so what did you think?</P>


                Twillight Samurai is pretty good, I recently watched Koreeda's latest (Hana Yori Mo Naho) which is inthe same vein (a deconstructing of the samurai myth, set during the "twillight" of their social class and almost devoid of violent altercations).</P>

                  So did you end up seeing it anyway, I've yet to watch Perfume, Pan's labyrinth and Babel so reviews would be appreciated.</P>

                    No, I haven't. I'll wait for it on DVD - I have full trust in Mr. A.O.Scott, moreover that he's read the book and mirrored my reaction to it.</p>

                    You should go see Pan's Labyrinth. It's a visually stunning film, and has depth. I heard Babel was very good as well, although very heavy (but that's the director's style).</p>

                        Started watching Naked Lunch. FREAKY. No wonder they took Burroughs to court.

                            All right, all right.</p>

                            Top ten films (I will end commentary at a more idle time).</p>

                            1. Seven - USA.</p>

                            2. Dogville - Denmark.</p>

                            3. Pulp Fiction - USA.</p>

                            4. Reservoir Dogs - USA.</p>

                            5. Snatch - UK</p>

                            6. Baraka - USA</p>

                            7. Stalker - Soviet Union</p>

                            8. Solaris - Soviet Union</p>

                            9. Lost Highway - USA</p>

                            10. HurlyBurly - USA</p>

                            It's a bipolar list - on one hand I like theater as film (dogville, hurlyburly, reservoir dogs), on the other hand I like films that although have depth, inevitably have an element of entertainment and freakishness (pulp fiction, lost highway, seven...).</p>

                            Filmmarkers:</p>

                            1. Andrey Tarkovskiy</p>

                            2. Lars von Trier
                            </p>

                            3. Wim Wenders</p>

                            4. Jean-Pierre Jeunet / Marc Caro
                            </p>

                            5. Terry Gilliam (NOT for the Monty Python)
                            </p>

                            6. David Lynch</p>

                            7. David Cronenberg</p>

                            8. Federico Fellini</p>

                            9. Stanley Kubrick</p>

                            10. Quentin Tarantino
                            </p>
