I hate to do this - but Kurosawa warned us.

Great artist.

3. Dreams is one of our favorite movies. This was one of the more disturbing dreams.

5. likewise.
I felt awful when I thought of and watched this clip.

Kurosawa was a genius. From this film, Village of the Watermills is a personal favorite.

6. The first - wedding of the foxes - the van Gogh, and the watermills
they make me wonder, and make me smile. Watermills is particularly magical.

Do you like/have you seen Baraka, and/or Koyaanisqatsi? Two others that are essential (for my eclectic tastes, anyway!)

7. One of my favourite movies...
this scene, and the cherry blossom scene, and the "ghost" army in the tunnel...really haunting. I'd buy the DVD if I could find it.
