Not sure how many movies I'm going to be able to rent since Blockbuster doesn't carry all that many. I was able to get this one fortunately. Blockbuster has "Akira" which has been recommended to me recently but it has been rented out. Guess I could reserve it. I also now have a copy of Metropolis I rented and I plan to watch that movie very soon.I really want to see Chinese Ghost Story and I may have no choice for that one as no video stores have it that I've tried. B&N and Borders both have it for $24.99.
Follow Ups:
Akira is a strange one. I like it, but can't explain why, though I don't think it is as great a show as some would have you believe.I haven't seen Chinese Ghost Story, but I want to see The Ring. Am checking with my Japanese friends to see if Onmyouji (‰A—zŽt)is any good (has English subs so I can neuter one of my players and import a copy). Say, if you like chambara (sword-fight), sci-fi, monster, sorcerer stuff set in medieval times, you might like Makaraga / Moon over Tao. I'd class it as a grade-B sci-fi but it's fun and I enjoyed it a lot. Anyway, here's the stuff I've got so if you want to know about anything just ask
I'm sure there are plenty of US movies that I need to see but I was curious and started to watch some of the Japanese films, Seven Samurai and Ran. I also tried some of the anime but I don't think I'm going to found all that much for rental, animated or not unfortunately. I don't want to deal with netflix, that's for certain!Someone on the Hi-Rez board posted a list of Japanese films they thought were the better ones. It all started when someone asked what folks do for entertainment while waiting for SACD and DVD-A recordings to be released in full force instead of constantly listening to the same ones.
You might check Madadayo. Sort of an endearing story about a college professor and his students as they grow old, and follows him from WWII onward. Think it was Kurosawa's last film. (the title means "no not yet" and comes from the professor's memories of playing hide-and-seek on a farm when he was a boy).
That link was bad (guess they don't want you getting in before you testify that you're 18 /_-) Try this one. Click proceed and then on the next page click the word "title" to sort the listing.
