I'll do:
Princess Mononoke  (Hayao Miyazaki, 1997, Japan)  vs        Moving  (Shinji Sômai, 1993, Japan) 

It's been over 12 years since I watched Mononoke, so it'll be a pretty fresh viewing vs a film I know nothing about. Probably won't get to it for a few weeks, but hopefully won't take too long to get to it.

Good bump.

I'll get the ball rolling on Audition vs Happy Together. One of the only match-ups with two films I haven't seen yet.

I could take Chungking Express vs Cageman. I've seen the former and liked it quite a bit, and it wasn't that long ago but I had basically no previous experience with Far-Eastern arthouse at the time, and I remembered being quite confused by it as well. I suspect I'd be very likely to advance it though... but it's going to be hard to get participants who haven't seen Chungking Express anyway, right ? I'll leave it to pix to decide if I can take it (I'm out of eligible matchups otherwise, at least for the time being).

I'll take Princess Mononoke (I've only seen it once) and Moving.

Princess Mononoke  (Hayao Miyazaki, 1997, Japan)  vs        Moving  (Shinji Sômai, 1993, Japan) 

Just a heads up... it doesn't seem like Moving exists on YouTube anymore. And if it is indeed on Filmstruck (as listed in the main thread), you'll want to squeeze it in before Filmstruck shuts down on Nov 28th (if you even have Filmstruck). Other than that it's a very hard to come by film it would seem.
