mizoguchi's "101 Essential Japanese Films"

Add to my lists | Print this list

My alternative list, year order. I’ve picked some films i’ve not seen rather than some well known ones that disappointed me/not to my taste. I expect to make changes. So, sorry if some of your favourites are missing- yes, i’ve left out a lot of anime and recent hits- but i’m open to suggestions and may have missed some by mistake.
