The Last Samurai and Memoirs of a Geisha had a few good scenes but as a whole, they didn't weren't so memorable. I remember watching a few old Hollywood movies about Japan that were a little more memorable:
1. Black Rain with Michael Douglas, a gritty yakuza movie.
2. Sayonara with Marlon Brando, a movie about an American soldier's relationship with a Japanese woman when such things were looked down on.
3. Geisha Boy with Jerry Lewis: I hardly remember this except for the rabbit. I saw it on TV once and wanted to see it again. I thought it was hilarious.
Has anyone else seen these movies? Or, are there any other movies you would add to my list. ( I would like to add Joy Luck Club but that deals with Chinese Americans.)
