Battle Royale has one of the best plot lines (and fan following):
Ninth grade students are taken to a small isolated island with a map, food and various arms. They have to fight each other three days long until the last one remains and are forced to wear a special collar which will explode when they break a rule.
The Japanese are an absolutely amazing people.

Nice!
Glad you liked the flick…
Well, I posted that when I was at your house… the DVD is getting passed around the office now.
Rock and roll man…
My next score is going to be Tale of Two Sisters.
Do any of your Japanese co-workers understand the ending better than we did?
Hey, just finished watching it, as the dvd is being passed around my office. Nice to see something different in movie-making. I especially enjoyed the countdown each time someone was wacked.
