ah, that's the kitano one. excellent film, in fact i think i prefer it to the classic shintaro katsu zatoichi's (all 26 or however many of them). but then kitano is a living legend.
What was the last film you watched? v. 2

Whilst Takeshi Kitano is pretty fucking cool (in this film and elsewhere), nothing quite beats the mass village samba/tapdancing finale. Blood, blood, transgendered geisha assasin (who isn't just there to be the butt of a string of bad jokes), blood, limbs flying, blood, machismo, tapdancing. I mean it's the perfect martial arts film.
just watched Saw last night, fuckin brilliant. very interested in the way in which the murderer appears as a gruesome moral agent, like in Seven, punishing people for their failings, and in this case, making the people who survive value what they have in life. Also the snuff movie thing, very interesting, reminded me of that game Manhunt.
there's a film i remember watching part of, but i can't remember its name. it's reeeeeeeeally long and it's basically just pictures and music, like, people getting off the tube, and factories and sunsets and stuff like that
it was wicked, whatever it was
anyone got the faintest idea of what i'm talking about?
the name of it sounded kind of long and crazy, like 'zakathaweralapischaranticxioklanpa'

Is that the one with Jet Li and Bob Hoskins?
It looked shit but the poster was awesome, I was going to steal one but they were all pasted up 
Not that I ever put up that huge Blair Witch Project one I stole...

because i haven't seen once upon a time in china? i've seen hardly any jet li films really, there's one called red dragon i think which is basically a chinese rip off of the lonewolf and cub series. only rubbish. hence unleashed is the second best jet li movie i've seen. and it is good, it has cartoon gangsters AND kung fu, in one movie. what more do you want?
Ghostbusters, which was balls, though great as a kid
Tried to watch Jules et Jim, and Les Amants du Pont Neuf but the fucking video picture at the bottom was fucked so I couldn't read the subtitles, aargh! And Les Amants started off looking great, and I <3 juliet binoche. Not as much as Irene Jacob or Virginie Ledoyen but still.
If anyone has on dvd/tape that works and can lend I'd be very grateful!

This thread is for telling people the last film you watched, and how was it!
Just saw Zatoichi (2003). Zatoichi is a fucking amazing movie for many reasons but I don't know what level of spoilering is expected here.
