How about a movie thread?

Have you seen any of the much later Takashi Miike movies John, such as Ichi The Killer?
Some of his movies are very good..

Only "13 Assassins". I know of "Ichi the Killer" but haven't seen it. I tend to like the traditional chanbara stuff like Kurosawa, Gosha, Inagaki and Kobayashi. I've gotten into "Beat" Takeshi a little. I like him, both as a director and actor.

I'm not really much for grindhouse. Of the quirkier stuff, I only ever saw the three "Hanzo the Razor" flicks and didn't really like them all that much. I do like Katsu though (he played the lead in those). The "Zatoichi" films are a hoot and he made a movie with Mifune called "Incident At Blood Pass" that I like a lot. Mifune plays the Yojimbo character (again) and Katsu plays an outlaw. I really like that one.
