I'm after some new (to me) Japanese oddities.. along the lines of: House, Survival style 5+, Tetsuo, Robo Geisha, Symbol, Big Man Japan, Happiness of the Katakuris, R99, R100....etc 
Love some Asian horror too.. particularly Indonesian and Korean. I think the Chinese film Moon Man is well worth a watch too. Great wtf kinda fun  |

I've been recommended some old ones like rashomon, but still haven't watched that.
Some early 2000s ones are great like zatoichi & battle royale.
If Japanese animation is your thing I'd recommend the red turtle, that's a French and Japanese collaboration.
-an incredible film I think. |

Rashomon is great! Odd if you don't know it's 4 people giving their version of seeing a murder. One to chew over with others after as to what you think happened.
Seven samurai is epic,got that on dvd still! |

"Ichi the killer was excellent sorry didn't see your reply   "
No worries, recommendations are reminding me of other films I've seen
The Machine Girl and Tokyo Gore Police too.. love me a bit of splatter  |

"I saw the devil is one of my favourite films.
Memories of murder, the man from nowhere and the handmaiden are also good Korean films"
I saw the Devil.. Dark. Loved that one. Not seen the others *makes notes*. Seen Oldboy? not the American shite version.. |
