.. are you guys kidding ? I like Hero and House of the flying daggers, but it's Japan by a landslide

even Akira Kurosawa's fantastic movies like Yojimbo, Shichinin no Samurai or Ran alone tip it in their favor, but additionally there are things like Zatoichi, the various horror movies like Ringu or Dark Water and ofcourse the ever fun Battle Royale

and I'm not even counting the fabulous anime movies from Ghibli and Satoshi Kon yet

Good movies, but not great movies.  Those Chinese movies I named are classics.

Anime doesn't count in my world.

opinions.

Battle Royale is the greatest movie ever made. My Neighbour Totoro from Studio Ghibli would be second. 

Again, there's no right answer here, just opinions :P Though I say Japan wins this by quite a few light years.

Well, That are older movies. But Zatoichi, Kanikôsen and so on show, that Japan has also today this talent. And for your selection: I think Battle Royale is good and Totoro too, but the best from Ghibli/Miyazaki is Laputa and the best Japanese movie is The seven samurai.

And in newer time Korea and China have good movies too, try 'I'm a cyborg, but that's OK' or other Park Chan-Wook-movies or Doomsday Book for Korean movies. And try Little Big soldier, The flowers of War or House of the flying daggers for China/Hongkong-movies.
