Hey, I can vote!
Ghost in the Shell
abstain (no Black Rain... unless you mean the Ridley Scott one  )
The Hidden Fortress
The Killer
abstain (no Red Sorghum)
The Hole
Yojimbo (tough!)
abstain (only seen one of the Samurai Trilogy)
And while we're talking about Asian films, I just saw a great one last night: Kon Ichikawa's An Actor's Revenge. You can read my comments about it here. |

I've heard many good things about An Actor's Revenge. There's an R2 UK disc I'd order, but since my Malata blew up and I haven't replaced it, I wouldn't have a way to watch it.

well it certainly appears I've made a mistake on that one
My votes
Laputa: Castle in the Sky
Gojira (1954)
The Hidden Fortress - easily, I just wasn't amused by all of the fart jokes in GM
The Killer - tough
Abstain to avoid a tie- would've voted for Rashômon
Abstain no The Hole, I guess I need to see it now
Yojimbo
Seven Samurai
Laputa: Castle in the Sky over Ghost in the Shell 4-2
Gojira (1954) over Black Rain 3-0
The Hidden Fortress over Good Morning 5-1
The Killer over City on Fire 3-0
Red Sorghum over Rashômon 2-1
The Hole over Audition 3-1
Yojimbo over Chushingura: 47 Samurai (1963) 4-0
Seven Samurai over Samurai Trilogy 6-0
and we've made it out of the first round. Too bad I had to throw out half the films though.
Round 2

vs.
