50 Essential Japanese Films

It should be noted that since I assume the majority of those reading this list are English speakers, I am using many of the film's English titles. So unless you can translate 上意討ち 拝領妻始末, you are unfortunately left with the often lazy and hackneyed names that are provided as substitutes.
