<P>Humanity & Paper Balloons (Sadao Yamanaka, 1937) would probably top my list - I have yet to see any of Yamanaka's surviving work, which seems impossible to find in any format here in the US.</P>
<P>I'd leap at the chance to see any number of films directed by Mikio Naruse, Masaki Kobayashi, Nagisa Oshima, Shiro Toyoda and Kaneto Shindo as well - with a small number of exceptions per director, their work tends to be difficult to see and obtain as well.</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Dear List Members,
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I'd like to ask all of you what classic Japanese film
<DIV></DIV>>you'd like to see on the big screen with English
<DIV></DIV>>subtitles? No need to strictly define "classic" -- trust
<DIV></DIV>>your own judgment. Of course any genre is okay. One or two
<DIV></DIV>>titles with perhaps a short explanation is fine.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Thank you!
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Jason Gray
