Lady Snowblood
I felt absolutely COMPELLED to get more people to see this film, "Lady Snowblood". In the wake of "Kill Bill" and its Box Office success, it's only fair that fans of that franchise pay their respects to its cinematic springboard.
"Lady Snowblood" follows Yuki Kashima, a young girl that was bred strictly to avenge the deaths of her family, and the rape and torture of her mother at the hands of 4 criminals in the late 1890's. Yuki literally slices and dices her way through these criminals, to her final showdown with a man from her past. Sound familiar now? How about a little visual stimulation?

It's easily one of the best revenge films I've ever seen. A very stylish, film, loaded with that 70's "paint gore" a la "Suspiria", and a total Toho Film gem. It's a very satisfying movie with substance, backstory, and the AnimEgo DVD release goes as far as to chronicle the feudal history of the time periods, taking us up through Yuki's history, and how she herself came to be!
It comes highly recommended, and while I got it for free, I would have gladly paid $20 for this, a totally underrated, and almost virtually unheard of inspiration to one of today's most prolific filmmakers.
