[kinki kal]

Kurosagi
Great teacher onizuka
Death Note 1

em..thats all i recommend to you

[Dr Flibble]

Battle Royale (forget the sequel)

Would help if you let us know what kind of movies you're after.

[kirapura]

Hachimitsu to kuroba
Death note
Crows Zero
Taiyou no Uta

[winslows11]

'Swing Girls' and 'Taiyou no uta'...these are best, I think

[animangerin]

I recently watched,

Movies that were great:

Adrift in Tokyo
A Stranger of Mine
Memories of Matsuko
Departures

and others which weren't that great:

After school
Summer snow
Ichi

Just to name a few. If you're going to watch 'A stranger of mine', i recommend you watch 'after school' first because it's from the same director and ' A stranger of mine sets up too much expectation since it was so good!

[blackangelldust]

Tada Kimi is definitely a good one.
Umm... Others...

Tokyo Boy
Strange Circus - Good, but really twisted
Crows Zero
Battle Royale

I'd say more, but I can't remember all the ones I've seen in the past few months.

[Raansu Beru]

agreed, Batoru Rowaiaru (battle royale) is nice

[Sumire Hayashi]

Dororo is one my favorites.
