  ...humble.

  I didn't warch the Oscars presentation. So they acknowledged the original in their praise for the remake? Have you seen the "sequels" referred to in a thread above?

  You seem pretty handy around Oriental film. Any overlooked gems to recommended?

  Cheers.

    Tsui Hark and Wong Jing, both from HK.

    There is a great film you may have missed by Japaene director Kaneto Shindô, called Onibaba (1964). I don't visit this board enough to know how popular it is.

    I also like OZU films and the insanity of Takashi Miike (Ichi the Killer, Audition).

    By the way, a few years back the term "Oriental" was replaced by "Asian".

      ...I'm familiar with. I'll look into the others. Thanks.

      Who replaced "Oriental" with "Asian" Why?

      I sincerely appreciate your looking out for my manners but Oriental has been a good word for centuries. I stiffen at PC language. I'll take your word for there being a better reason, if you can just clue me in.
