To be honest, all you really have to do is watch all of Joe Shishido's movies. I've seen a ton of them, and not a single one has been bad. The worst I've seen is Detective Bureau 2-3: Go to Hell Bastards!, and that one is still a great flick. If I was at gunpoint and forced to pick a favorite movie of all time, Sonatine by Kitano might be it. I seriously recommend for anyone who hasn't seen it to change that immediately. I think it's still on Netflix, but if not, it's pretty easy to track down. The entire Nikkatsu Noir boxset by Criterion is well worth the money, every movie on there is a classic. Cruel Gun Story just barely edges out A Colt is My Passport for my favorite, but Rusty Knife is also fantastic, which I don't think has been mentioned in the thread yet.

Detective No. 27 posted:This isn't my review, but I have to comment on the soundtrack, it's really cool. I need to track down a copy, asap. Hisaishi is a major part of what makes Kitano flicks so great. A movie like A Scene at the Sea would just fall flat without its soundtrack, I think. He would always find a way to perfectly complement that sort of eerie, disconnected feel all the movies have.
