101. Four Nights of a Dreamer (1971)

Not Rated | 87 min | Drama, Romance

102. Eureka (2000)

217 min | Drama

79 Metascore

The traumatized survivors of a murderous bus hijacking come together and take a road trip to attempt to overcome their damaged selves. Meanwhile a serial killer is on the loose.

Director: Shinji Aoyama | Stars: Koji Yakusho, Aoi Miyazaki, Masaru Miyazaki, Yôichirô Saitô

Votes: 4,345 | Gross: $0.05M


One of the leading voices in the new Japanese cinema, Shinji Aoyama directs this saga about memory, grief, and redemption. Shot in stark black and white, the film opens with the sudden and inexplicably bloody hijacking of a bus in rural Kyushu. The crazed gunman (Riju Go) shoots two passengers in the back as they try to flee. Stepping out of the bus for some fresh air, the hijacker drags bus driver Makoto (played by the ubiquitous Koji Yakusho) along for cover. When the driver faints and falls to the ground, police snipers shoot the terrorist. In his last dying effort, the hijacker stumbles back on board the bus, where he murders an old lady and tries to kill a pair of shocked schoolchildren, Naoki (Masaru Miyazaki) and Kozue (Aoi Miyazaki). Two years later, the experience has wreaked havoc on the lives of the three sole survivors. Distanced and easily distracted, Makoto's weird behavior -- particularly his habit of wandering off unannounced for days at a time -- finally takes its toll on his marriage. Meanwhile, Naoki and Kozue are left mute from the event, though they can communicate. The silent siblings' mother soon walks out of her marriage, and their father kills himself in a car wreck, leaving them alone in a large house with a substantial insurance check. Having found work at a construction company, Makoto's strange behavior starts to raise a few eyebrows, especially when he utterly ignores the advances of a comely office worker. Soon the village is rocked by news of murdered women washing up on a nearby river bank; Makoto's brother suspects him and asks him to leave their family house. He shows up on the doorstep of Naoki and Kozue's house, which has devolved into utter disrepair, and the trio forms a family of sorts. Their relative peace and order is upset by Akihiko (Yohichiroh Saitoh), the bumptious cousin from Tokyo on vacation from college who is insensitive to the trauma that the trio has endured and increasingly suspicious of the kids' ersatz guardian. His disapproval of Makoto grows when that same comely office work turns up dead, and Makoto is the prime suspect. Looking to break out of their routine, and cleared of murder charges, Makoto purchases an old bus and converts it into a camper. Taking his three housemates on an odyssey that begins at the site of the hijacking, they slowly start to reconcile the grief and pain that so destroyed their lives. Unfortunately, the killing seems to follow them along their way. A poignant, emotional journey clocking in at just under four hours, Eureka won the prestigious FIPRESCI Award at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival and was screened at the 2000 Toronto and New York Film Festivals - Allrovi

Votes: 278


This film, set in France at the time of the Second World War, is neither a love story, nor a war action/adventure story. An injured and toothsome young man is found in the woods by a 14-year-old French girl, who is entranced by him. He claims to be an Englishman, there to organize resistance to the Nazis, and she hides him in her family's attic.

Director: Sadao Yamanaka | Stars: Chôjûrô Kawarasaki, Kan'emon Nakamura, Tsuruzô Nakamura, Chôemon Bandô

Votes: 2,299


Humanity and Paper Balloons (人情紙風船 Ninjō kami fūsen?) is 1937 black-and-white film directed by Sadao Yamanaka. It is his last film. Largely unknown outside of Japan until recent years, the film has been hailed by critics (Tadao Sato, Donald Richie), and a number of other Japanese filmmakers (Akira Kurosawa among them) as one of the most influential examples of jidaigeki, or Japanese period films. The story is set in the 18th century, and dramatically depicts the struggles and schemes of Unno, a ronin, or masterless samurai in feudal Japan. Yamanaka was drafted into the Japanese army, entering the service on the day Humanity and Paper Balloons was released theatrically, and died during the war at the age of 28, while stationed in Manchuria. With the exception of this film, and 2 others, Yamanaka's 30+ films were lost after the war - Wikipedia

Votes: 5,837

Remade as 'Hachi: A Dog's Tale' (2009), which is actually, surprisingly, considering how remakes go, a pretty good film, but I'm also a sucker for dog films.

131. Brighton Rock (1948)

Not Rated | 92 min | Crime, Drama, Film-Noir

In Brighton in 1935, small-time gang leader Pinkie Brown murders a journalist and later desperately tries to cover his tracks but runs into trouble with the police, a few witnesses, and a rival gang.

Director: John Boulting | Stars: Richard Attenborough, Hermione Baddeley, William Hartnell, Harcourt Williams

Votes: 6,828 | Gross: $0.22M

AKA 'Young Scarface'.

Based on a Graham Greene novel, 'Brighton Rock' is one of Richard Attenborough's early roles. His brother, David, is, in my opinion, one of the greatest human beings living today, and has produced some of the greatest nature/wildlife documentaries ever, but that is neither here nor there in regards to this movie.

Director: Gerhard Lamprecht | Stars: Rolf Wenkhaus, Käthe Haack, Fritz Rasp, Rudolf Biebrach

Votes: 717


No less a scrivener than Billy Wilder adapted the Erich Kastner novel Emil and the Detectives for its first film version. The story concerns a young boy named Emil who has been packed off to visit relatives in Germany. While en route on the train, Emil's money is stolen by a penny-ante thief. The boy enlists the aid of a group of pre-teen youths who fancy themselves ace detectives. The kids get in deeper than expected when it turns out that the thief is part of a criminal gang planning a big heist. The 1931 Emil and the Detectives is perhaps the best of the four film versions of the Kastner story, benefitting from some cheerful glimpses of a sunshine-drenched Berlin that disappeared forever during World War II. Subsequent versions of Emil would be filmed in England in 1935, in West Germany in 1954, and by Walt Disney (who couldn't resist the temptation to "Americanize" the characters) in 1964 - Allrovi

Votes: 5,266

If 'Kill Baby ... Kill!' is Bava's best, which I believe it be(but it was also the first Bava film I ever saw), then this is a close second. You have probably never heard of it, but after you watch it you won't forget it. But be sure to watch the original "Rabid dogs" edit, not the new "Kidnapped" edit.

An epic masterpiece often compared to Kurosawa’s High and Low, this grim examination of criminal life in post-war Japan is split into three sections: the criminal on the run, an interlude with a prostitute, and the final confrontation with police. The grainy widescreen cinematography results from Uchida’s unusual choice to shoot in 16mm and blow up to 35mm. “the director’s masterpiece without doubt.”—Positif. It was voted the 6th greatest Japanese film ever made by Kinema Jumpo in 1995, and the 3rd greatest Japanese film in the same magazine in 1999. —Wikipedia

Trans-Europ-Express is a 1966 film written and directed by Alain Robbe-Grillet and starring Jean-Louis Trintignant and Marie-France Pisier. The title refers to the Trans Europ Express, a former international rail network in Europe. The film has been variously described as an erotic thriller, a mystery, and a film-within-a-film. Also in the cast were Nadine Verdier, Christian Barbier, Charles Millot, Catherine Robbe-Grillet, and the director. The protagonist is Elias (Trintignant) who is on a dope running errand from Paris to Antwerp by the train which gives the film its title. The director appears as himself in some sequences which are intercut with the action in which Elias is involved. The relationship between Elias and Eva (Marie-France Pisier) involves elements of erotic fantasy - Wikipedia
