I have two from Kon Ichikawa:
Tokyo Olympiad (1965)
The Inugami Family (1976)

And two from the above list of Chinese Blockbusters:
Detective Chinatown (2015)
Detective Chinatown 2 (2018)


I'm probably going to watch Olympiad followed by Chinatown 1

My next 5 from the 2010s. Titles I've continued to put off, but never lost interest in.

I have seen most of Machette and all of Joy; The Book of Eli; and The Other Guys. I would say The Book of Eli is the worst of those, apparently Denzil cannot save every movie.

The Other Guys is better than it ought to be. Not something special, but it's consistently funny which is a surprisingly high bar for comedies.
Machete is what you probably expect. A mess with interesting moments.
Rio is utterly forgettable.
Book of Eli is not good.

Haven't seen Joy.

I dunno. I'd pass on The Other Guys myself. Ferrell is great comedic actor, but because of his past success it seems like he's expected to make something out of nothing.

Machete I really enjoyed the first time, and couldn't finish the second time which surprised me. Danny Trejo delivers some lines really well though. One made for an especially good laugh. Could have been best of the year.

The less you know about The Book of Eli the better. I wish the script were as ambitious as the world building.

Is it "Machete don't text."?
