RAINBOW MAH BOI

My favorites are the Chinese movie Curse of the Golden Flower (lots of killing and blood in that, though, but the scenery and costumes are beautiful) and the Japanese movies Red Beard and Tokyo Godfathers.
Curse of the Golden Flower is visually brilliant, but story-wise, I wasn't wowed. Worth watching purely for the lavish costuming though.
@Ultra_jill/fistful_of_Clint: Really? I thought that the
Death Note movies were a bit rubbish personally. Then again, this is after having read the manga twice and watched the anime. I was starting to get a little sick of the story by then.
