Kitano Takeshi's works are interesting. I really liked Kikojiro, and Zatoichi was fun too. I still have to see Hanabi, though. Kobayashi Masaki's adaptation of Lufcadio Hearn's Kwaidan is very good too. For a movie made in the 1960s, when special effects were still quite primative, the film still manages to set a surprisingly unnerving tone. I saw the live version of Deathnote a while back, and it was a very entertaining film. I was surprised by the ending a bit. Oh, and Kurosawa's films are always fun.
