True, but there were two stretches [from 1991 to 1995 and 1999 to 2004] where they were coming out with a new one every year.

GOJIRA is indeed awesome, and stars Takashi Shimura, probably the best non-Mifune Kurosawa regular. :bow

GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS is also entertaining as hell, because it's literally Gojira with a random American douchebag cut into the film through movie magic to make it appeal to us more sophisticated lightskins. :usacry

Yeeep. And Gojira was directed by a guy who often did second unit on Kurosawa movies. He even was a full on co-director with Kurosawa on Dreams. Kurosawa always wanted to do a Godzilla movie but Toho wouldn't let him because they feared he'd go over-budget. I wonder how that movie would have turned out.

I'd be down for that.

Edit: Man, it's been too long since the last time I watched an Akira Kurosawa movie. There was a stretch where I watched quite a few of his. I've seen Dreams, Kagemusha, Sanjuro, Yojimbo, The Bad Sleep Well, The Hidden Fortress, The Lower Depths, Throne of Blood, Seven Samurai, Ikiru, and Stray Dog, but it's been probably at least two years since I last watched one. Someone suggest one that I haven't seen and I'll put it in my Netflix queue.

Post by: Cheebs on April 05, 2010, 01:40:52 AM: Check out Dersu Uzala too. I really love that one but it tends to get ignored since it is the one film of his not in Japanese. Although it was the only film he won an oscar for.

Alright, I'll put that one in there too. It'll probably be a decade before I get to it though, my Netflix queue is longer than Willco's list of rejected board game-based screenplays.

But yeah, High and Low is fucking great. Probably better than Ran even. If you can stomach a slow burn police procedural, it's one of the best I've seen.

Post by: Great Rumbler on April 05, 2010, 01:48:29 AM: Hey, Cheebs, have you seen any of Kiyoshi Kurosawa's movies? He and Akira are two of my favorite directors, I could watch just about anything from them and just absolutely love it. KK's style is quite a bit different from AK's though, it's very surreal and blends and twists various genres together in very strange ways. Check him out if you haven't already.

Nah, that's Tatsuya Nakadai (Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Sanjuro, High and Low, Kagemusha, Ran). Shimura is definitely a close third, though.
Title: Re: SoCal just got hit by a 7.2 earthquake.
Post by: The Dark Shake 3000 on April 05, 2010, 02:16:45 AM: Nakadai was only in a handful of Kurosawa films, though. Shimura was in as much if not more than Mifune iiirc.
Title: Re: SoCal just got hit by a 7.2 earthquake.
Post by: Ichirou on April 05, 2010, 02:18:20 AM: Six movies is enough to make him a regular, IMO, especially when Kurosawa's filmography is like 30 films.
Title: Re: SoCal just got hit by a 7.2 earthquake.
