[KineJapan] Eiga Best and Worst

[Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan]

I missed the initial announcement, but the Eigei Best Ten is out. (I used to one of the selectors, but they removed me some time ago.) This year's list is as unusual as usual, but there are at least two controversies: 1) all selectors are now required to select at least 5 best and 5 worst films (many opted out of the latter in previous years); and 2) animated films were removed from the list of eligible films because they are not considered cinema. 

BEST:
1) Yozora wa itsudemo saiko mitsudo no aoiro da (Ishii Yuya)
2) Osanako warera ni umare (Mishima Yukiko)
3) Bangkok Nights (Tomita Katsuya)
4) Kanojo no jinsei wa machigai ja nai (Hiroki Ryuichi)
4) Aa, koya (Kishi Yoshiyuki)
6) Zen to Hone (Nishimura Takahiro)
7) Sanpo suru shinryakusha (Kurosawa Kiyoshi)
7) Okuda Tamio ni naritai boy to deau otoko subete kuruwaseru garu (One Hitoshi)
7) Ernesto (Sakamoto Junji)
10) Tsuki to kaminari (Ando Hiroshi)

WORST
1) Sandome no satsujin (Koreeda Hirokazu)
2) Sekigahara (Harada Masato)
2) Aa, koya (Kishi Yoshiyuki)
4) Kanojo no jinsei wa machigai ja nai (Hiroki Ryuichi)
5) Hagane no renkinjitsu (Sori Fumihiko)
