Dakle, ovo je lista japanskih filmova koje sam htio preporučiti svojim drugarima. Ajde da stavimo online da imam i za ubuduće…
Ideja je da se filmovi koliko toliko mogu gledati i sa partnerima ili osrednjom djecom. Tako da nema stvari kao što je A Lonely Cow Weeps at Dawn ili Emperor Tomato Ketchup, ali nema ni nekih klasika kao što je Good Morning, Death by Hanging, Akira Kurosawa, Toshiro Mifune, … Niti je ovo ultimativna lista najboljih filmova. Ovo je samo lista.
