back to Japanese movies ALL TIME BEST 200 (KineJun readers)

A list that reminds me how many awesome Japanese films there are. Although Nausicaa above Ugetsu Monogatari sticks in the throat a bit :)

Hi -- I wonder if anyone here can help. I'd like to re-watch a movie that I saw a long time ago. I don't know the title and only have the vaguest recollection of one scene from the movie -- I just remember that I thought it was great. All I remember is that it was in color and it ended with a huge fire in a time period where all the women were wearing kimono. So vague, I know, but maybe that's enough for someone here?

It's great to see "Floating Clouds" at #5. Could use a couple more Naruse films near the top. Thanks for sharing.

Really ? I couldn’t find the Girl Who Leapt Through Time version I was searching for. I’m gonna check this out, thanks Myra.

Thanks for this list! You'll find that quite a few films from the 2009 poll have recently been added on the site. The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, The Devil's Ballad and Proxy War are already in the database. :)

Ah, it must have been another KJ poll Sansho missed out on

Update! @Kenji : Sansho is on the list… but pretty down.

This list is just what the studios pride themselves on. Very little presence from non-hegemonic productions.

No Sansho the Bailiff! Like a list of Italian paintings that leaves out the Sistine Chapel

This is very interesting, thank you very much! I have found the top 200 by the critics but I am very interested in individual ballots (Japanese and foreign choices) by famous personalities in order to include them in *They Shoot Pictures, Don't They?* Could you help us?

I like more this list than the Kinema Jumpo list.

Eureka is in the top 200 (rank 135...) but a way behind Hula girl (52) or Always (67)... That's kind painful lol.

You're right about Hula Girls, it was awful....can't believe it won best picture that year! I 'm surprised Eureka didn't make it either.

Acerk21 >> Yeah... especially when you see flicks like "Hula girls" or "Orodu daisousasen" in the whole list. But Iwai Shunji isn't the only one people tend to forget: Aoyama Shinji, Kurosawa Kiyoshi, Kore'eda... even Ozu isn't fairly represented in this ranking. Lists are always subjective anyway hehe.
