I can usually be found hanging out somewhere between 1980-1989.

My wife and I watched the romcom 'Love in the Afternoon', it's so hilarious. We recorded it last week but just got around to watching it after our WWE/AEW fix. Young ass Audrey Hepburn and old ass Gary Cooper... (28 year age difference) were great together in this. A good movie all around.

Good movie but for some reason the age difference between Cooper and Hepburn bothered me more in this one than the age difference between Bogart and Hepburn in Sabrina.

Kobayashi was a highly regarded director in the 1960s. He made a string of critically acclaimed films -- The Human Condition trilogy, his samurai films Harakiri and Samurai Rebellion, and the horror film Kwaidan. Like many of his contemporaries, he struggled to make films after the studio system collapsed but was still active in the 70s and 80s. The Human Condition trilogy is almost 10 hours long but one of the great film trilogies. It stars the great Tatsuya Nakadai, who is one of the great Japanese actors of the era. Nakadai also stars in Harakiri. I’ve tried several times over the years to make a “Top 10 Japanese Movies” list and it’s so hard to narrow it down to ten and then start ranking them. Too much great Kurosawa and too much great Ozu. Not to mention Kobayashi! I saw Harakiri about 15 years ago and it blew me away! I’ve seen it three or four times since then. And I saw Kwaidan about ten years ago. Another amazing film! I watch it in October every two or three years. And I saw The Human Condition a few years ago. I had not originally intended to watch the whole trilogy so quickly. I was going to spread it out over a few months. But when I saw the first one, I immediately requested the other two from the library. I just couldn’t wait. So there’s those three from Kobayashi and three from Kurosawa and several from Ozu. And then several Studio Ghibli films and my favorite Godzilla movies and The Yakuza Papers and Zatoichi and Lone Wolf and Cub and Female Convict Scorpion and stuff like Taste of Tea and Ornamental Hairpin and Mr. Thank You and just too many others! And then there’s something like Danger Pays (1962). It would break my heart to leave it off the list. So it’s better not to make a list.

A top 10 would be hard. I could maybe narrow things down to a top 50, but 100 seems fairer.

It's that time of year when I rewatch classic Bruce Lee movies. I think my favourite fight is between him and Hakim (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) in Game of Death, followed by Chuck Norris in Way of the Dragon. Those scenes with the cat were annoying though....
