A History of Japanese Cinema in 30 YouTube Clips

Teaching an introductory course on Japanese culture has some modest advantages. You get to YouTube all day. Below is this year's list of clips used in the sessions on Japanese cinema. I haven't got the time to annotate the clips in English but the links to the Internet Movie Database should provide sufficient background info. Enjoy.

"Where are we going?" I asked.
"I don't know" he said, "just driving."
"But this road doesn't go anywhere", I told him.
"That doesn't matter."
"What does?"I asked, after a little while.
"Just that we're on it, dude", he said.
