Seconded.
I got Yoshihiro Nishimura to sign a DVD of this for me once, which is I think the exact moment I realized I like meeting people who make things I enjoy, but I don’t care about signatures.
When I saw him again later I thanked him for making Meatball Machine Kodoku. I did so in very bad Japanese. I don’t know if he speaks English or not, but in neither encounter did he say anything in English, so I wasn’t going to initiate that if he didn’t.
He’s a fantastic director and seems like a nice dude too.
I love the strong female leads, and old school practical effects work in his films.

I love that the exact two John Waters movies that I was torn between are the two I’ve spotted on lists here.
Especially since neither are the obvious picks (no disrespect to Pink Flamingos though)
my +1s
EDIT: replaced Mind Game with Belladonna of Sadness
Yes!
This is difficult. Even narrowing it down to ten per decade would be a challenge. But I guess I’ll go with these for the moment.
Seconding:
feeling chuffed that nobody has listed a st*r w*rs yet
The most glaring omission from my list.
The sheer classiness of wourme to provide links to letterboxd for each of their entries. Respect.
I had moved Time Bandits back and forth between my primary and secondary lists and I just realized that I left it out of both. It will probably have to replace something.
ah damn UHF though
i have seen 'Til Madness Do Us Part, The Ditch and Dead Souls
Wang Bing - The Walking Eye - Idea Books highly recommend this book that i bought myself as a birthday present earlier this year
i’m suffering a crisis after looking at my list again and other people’s lists and realizing there are too many good movies.
anyways, i added merry christmas, mr. lawrence to my list
looking forward to the sb mst3k-style watchalong of the fuckin piano teacher
shit this is real close to the list i would make actually. i really gotta sit down and think about this
