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

even Akira Kurosawa's fantastic movies like Yojimbo, Shichinin no Samurai or Ran alone tip it into 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

Ah.....

 

Zatoichi....

I remember how it all started....

 

I heard about the series since I was little here in Hawaii, but I never really saw it.

 

Then Amazon.com was selling a box set of the first four movies for like 12 dollars, and I said "why not?!?"

 

So when I got it, my Mom and I watched it, and we really loved it.  And so I wanted to buy the next movie in the series, then I found out.....the 5th movie was 15.99 and so was every other movie.

But it was too late....

I had become Zatoichi-fied

 

And now, I am doomed to buy DVDs from Amazon at full price.

 

Damn you Amazon!!

Damn you to hell!!

Damn you and your devious little plan to get customers hooked on the first few parts and then screw them later on!!!

There's a little place in hell waiting for you....

 

 

LOL!!  btw, I have a need to own the official physical copies of the DVDs
