The Ultimate ASIAN Film Tournament
I have a feeling I’m going to regret this
 
I’ve started us off with 100 films, so we need 28 more films for a complete field.
Rules:
Asian films ONLY (Japan, Hong Kong, India, etc.)
Theatrical films ONLY
Obscure films that get no votes will be thrown out & replaced with one of the Wild-card films that I’ll hold in reserve.
If you have to abstain, please name the film that you haven’t seen.
Everyone gets 5 nominations, seconds & thirds
MASTER LIST
Akira
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Hana-bi
Happy Together
The Hole
Spirited Away
Throne of Blood

It seems that rather than have 19 Kurosawa movies, you could remove some of the lesser ones (Dodes-kaden, Dreams) and open up slots for more, shall we say, adventurous choices.
Nominate:
The Scent of Green Papaya
The Vertical Ray of the Sun
Drunken Master 2
What Time Is It There?
The River

First question—where do you put the Middle East? If Iran is in Asia, there will be several additional noms.

Current nominations
After Life
Dead or Alive *
The Scent of Green Papaya
The Vertical Ray of the Sun *
What Time Is It There? *
* seconded in need of a third
Re: The River - I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific though I'd assume it must either be found in the new releases section at any local Blockbusters or an alternate title to a Jackie Chan flic.
Simon,
Audition is already in as Ôdishon. Feel free to nominate more Miike though as I'll second them.
