Wow, you want to watch a lot of movies. I wouldn't be able to find the time of day to watch all of them. Good luck with that. I can't contribute because I have watched all I want to watch at the moment in time.

Holy crap! I just discovered this Kon Ichikawa film I've never heard of. The YouTube video provides no information, but I think it's called Ten Dark Women: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0NarMxH-g0

Of course, I absolutely loved Ichikawa's The Makioka Sisters: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1zeU16TuI4

Has anyone actually done some sampling of the list on the first page? There is some potentially amazing and beautiful stuff in there.

Let's try again. Which links have you checked out? Which ones looked interesting or not interesting? If you haven't checked any out, try it. You might find something interesting.

I would just love to see Hiroshi Teshigahara's The Ruined Map, a.k.a The Man Without a Map, made in 1968. It was the last collaboration between the legendary trio, Teshigahara as director, novelist Kôbô Abe as writer, and music by Tôru Takemitsu. Their other three masterpieces being Pitfall, Woman in the Dunes, and The Face of Another.

Unfortunately, I don't think it's available anywhere with English subtitles. How wonderful it would if Criterion would pick it up. Below is a fan made Criterion Three Reasons. Love the music and cinematography. In fact, it appears that notable cinematographer Christopher Doyle might have been inspired by the work here.

Perhaps another break from the lists would be in order. Lots of films listed here are classics featuring the wonderful Hideko Takamine and Setsuko Hara.

Here's a fan made tribute to both of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O6tdZucyVc

You all think that you wouldn't like these movies. But until you try, you don't know. Most people become enthralled.

Life of Pi is one of them.

Great movie! I'd put it on my personal 'want to watch' list, but I've already seen it! However, I have two other films by Ang Lee listed here. And I still have to add at least one (or more) by him yet.

We should just take a breather here, and consider Yasujiro Ozu, a director loved by nearly all who watch his films. It's very nearly a transcendental experience one has upon watching two or three of his films. At that point, something happens, everything clicks, and you realize you've discovered a new film grammar, a new way of watching film, and an extraordinarily beautiful set of films to look forward to.
