Daily Movie Recommendation - Ugetsu Monogatari aka Ghost Story (1953)

A great recommendation and one of Tarkovsky's favorite directors! I perhaps place Sansho the Bailiff a bit higher, but this one is definitely his most iconic and characteristic work.

Tarkovsky had a great taste in directors ;>)

I watched all three films by Mizoguchi around the same time, but I think this is the only one that I watched twice, although I'm not completely sure about that.

Sansho the Bailiff and Ghost Story are very different films but both are definitely worth watching, for different reasons.

P.S. Nice to receive a comment on a post of half a year ago. May I ask how you stumbled upon this?

Well the oldest movie I have ever watched, was the impossible to forget "the shining".

And I was not sure about seeing it, but a few months ago I started to watch kind of older movies, like the "in the mouth of madness" that was spectacular, and since a cousin of mine mentioned me the shining several times I end up watching it. Great movie, with a fuck*ng crazy ending too.

I will write down this movie you are writing about and maybe see it one day. Although it is VERY old haha

You're calling my mom old????

To quote myself from yesterday:

It kind of depends of the definition of 'old'. As I studied film and learnt the first film were made around 1895, I don't necessarily consider 70s movies old. Then again, most people do.

P.S. I love the Shining! and In the Mouth of Madness is pretty great too :>)

Old. Lol. Saw the Shining in the movie theater. Lol.

Now that's what I call old! ;>)

My father saw Alien in cinema, back in 1979. So he beats you by one year.
Afterwards, his bike's saddle appeared to be stolen.
A movie to remember, for different reasons.

That is a pretty old movie :O And we're also getting old, as I've been reading about people getting spun out by how old some of their favourite childhood movies are now XD

Haha! Tell me about it...

Most of my fav childhood movies are from the mid 80s,
but I watched them a couple of years later on TV or VHS.
