Generally I plan to avoid horror and violent films, except for those that are absolute "must see", but otherwise a list of films that keep coming up on everyone's best Japanese film lists.

Nice list! I have seen 17 of these so far. Love Japanese cinema...

Try Yojimbo (1961) and Ikiru (1952) by Akira Kurosawa. That makes this list great :)

I highly recommend the original Godzilla (1954) and its sequels, Battle Royale, Spirited Away, Ju-On: The Grudge, Ringu, Ponyo, One Missed Call and Kairo. You might of seen some of them but rewatching them is the best part.

That's a great list, I strongly recommend Jin-Roh The Wolf Brigade as well. That movie is one of my favorites of all time.
