Suggestions for crazy J-movie?
 

I have been watching a lot of Japanese movie lately and I have to say I am loving them. The best ones are those that you watch for 2 hours and then think about for a week haha. I am talking about those movies where you have to think about life or others that just really screw with your mind.
My favorites so far are:

Suicide Club 1,2
Premonition
1 Litre of Tears

All four of those made me think a lot. Soo basicaly I am asking you if you know any other titles that really put you into deep thaught. Any genre works (thriller, drama, horror etc.) as long as its mind blowing xD.

Please share your favorites, so that I can watch and disscuss them with you.

:D

"Deep thought."
That would somewhat depend on what one values most in life.
People have different interests, so different things would provoke thought for different people.

I don't really have any recommendations at the moment. This is just something I thought you should consider.

well i can't think of any crazy japanese movies, but for korean movies there's oldboy and janghwa, hongryeon

Every month the Japanese embassy here puts on a free J-movie for people to go and see.

The last one I saw was titled in English "The face of Jizo". In Japanese it was called 父と暮らせば or "living with dad" (?)

The cool thing about this movie for me was that when I left the embassy I only thought it was only an OK movie... but for some reason the movie stuck with me and now that I think about it and the characters and the situation it was really touching.

I don't know if you'll have the same experience but that's my two cents :)

Oh, I've had that happen to me too.
... And that's pretty cool what your Japanese embassy is doing...

Cool! Yeah I get that experience with most Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Gibli movies which I also suggest the Original poster check out! :)

omg i adore miyazaki and studio ghibli!! i even used to wanna move to japan and work for them when i was lil :D

For sure!

I really can't pick a favourite as each movie is special and good in it's own way.

The movies I've seen of theirs are

-Spiritied away
-Princess Mononoke
-Only Yesterday
-Grave of the Fireflies
-Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind
-My Neighbour Totoro
-Kiki's Delivery Service

According to my Japanese friend studying here a new one has just been released in Japan!!!

OMG you haven't seen howl's moving castle yet?! =O it was pretty great ^^ but yeah it's pretty much impossible for me to pick a fav too. if anything i think i'd go with spirited away cuz it's the one i saw first and i've seen it the most. but outta your list the only one's i haven't seen are only yesterday and nausicaa. i should probably get on that soon o_O lol

Oh yeah... I don't know how I let Howl's slip. I'll see it this weekend. Thanks for the reminder! :D
