25 Best Japanese Movies of All Time

"No list of the best Japanese movies ever made can accurately cover the history of Japanese cinema. Japan has been making and releasing movies since approximately 1897. Like any other country that produces and distributes its own movies, a look through the history of Japanese film reveals some of the most influential films of all time. Every country contributes to global cinema. Japan has cultivated its own artists and creations, while simultaneously embracing characters and stories from other parts of the world."
