Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence
»rank: 20772

»rank: 57774
0ur opinion: essential video:A guilty pleasure if ever there was one, Black Rain is a ridiculously entertaining thriller by Ridley Scott (Alien), starring Michael Douglas as a tough New York cop who--along with his partner (Andy Garcia)--goes to Japan to deliver a local mobster.

Zatoichi - Darkness Is His Ally
»rank: 63469
0ur opinion: :As the 26th installment in a popular film series that lasted 27 years, Zatoichi is essentially a 'greatest hits' compendium of all the films that preceded it. That makes it essential viewing for Zatoichi fans and anyone interested in the voluminous 'source code' for Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill. Known in Japan as Zatoichi 26 or Zatoichi '89, this lavish production was the last to star Shintaro Katsu, who originated the title role of 'the Blind Swordsman' in 1962's The Tale of Zatoichi and served triple-duty ...
