Holy crap. King of Comedy was the first Stephen Chow film my friend showed me (mistakenly thinking that it was Love on Deilvery). A few minutes into it one of his roommates came in and screamed "Why are you showing her the penis flicking movie?!"
When we finally got around to watching Love on Delivery it was actually pretty funny. (I didn't think King of Comedy was very good, even if ignoring the penis flicking).

Yes, you forgot Ran and Yojimbo. Hooray for Kurosawa.
Sword of Doom. It's just amazing. I'd call it the Audition of Samurai movies...not to spoil anything, but it's somewhat unexpected to say the least.
Kung-Fu Hustle...a tapestry of absurdity as only Chow could do it.
No one's mentioned Attack The Gas Station. I'm amazed. Nay, appalled.
Hanabi's great, Sonatine is arguably on an equal footing. One's a touching love story interspersed with people getting chopsticks in the eye, the other's "Stupid Games Yakuza Play when Bored" interspersed with the odd gunfight. Either way...
I guess Hard Boiled and The Killer were too obvious to post.
The first two movies in the Dead or Alive trilogy are quite insane, as only Miike could do insane. Required viewing.
Watch Tetsuo: The Iron Man in one sitting. I dare you.

Hell yeah. More asskickery than almost all movies. Style over substance to a ridiculous degree, but also ridiculously sweet.

I've owned Tetsuo on DVD for about 3yrs now and still never watched it, the film actually reached the end once but I'd fallen into a drunken stupour round about the drill penis.
I didn't see Sympathy for Mr Vengeance mentioned anywhere, to be honest I thought Old Boy was far superior purely because it's not quite so bleak (and that's saying something) and had that stunning corridor fight.
Miike's Gozu is top quality in my opinion, by far the weirdest homoerotic psycho-sexual gangster film I've seen in a while.
One to avoid at all costs is a Korean one released recently called something like Lost City. It's a asian Bladerunner with all the joy and interest sucked out of it.
