My Top 5 Takashi Miike films

   Okay, I know some of you are fans. Which ones are your faves?

No. 1 - It's gotta be Gozu. Totally bizarre, yet outrageously funny.
No. 2 - Dead or Alive - The most amazing opening 8 minutes AND the most outlandish ending of any film I've ever seen.
No. 3 - For sheer audacity, Ichi the Killer (the unrated version, natch).
No. 4 - Audition. This one really got me on first viewing, and I'm way jaded.
No. 5 - Fudoh: The New Generation - Insane, but in a good way, a template for much of Miike's later work.
