Japanese film - 30 "must see" classics

I'm surprised High & Low (天国と地獄) didn't make the list, my favorite Kurasawa flick.

I've been watching a lot of 60's and 70's films on sky-pa in HD and the black and white stuff looks amazing. Some really funny comedies as well. I wish I could remember the name of one that was really funny, a 60's film about a Japanese whiskey maker going over to HK to sell his brand.
 

this one?

No but the bar scene has the right look but it was a comedy, more slap stick and just had these great scenes with the Japanese guys trying to speak English that was really funny. Was a kick to see how they used English, I'm sure you all know guys in their 60's here who slip English words into conversations to look cool, had a lot of that.

English translation[edit]
I would hate baby-sitting beyond Bon Festival,
The snow begins to fall, and the baby cries.

How can I be happy even when Bon Festival is here?
I don't have nice clothes or a sash to wear.

This child continues to cry and is mean to me.
I get thinner because the baby cries all day.

I would quickly quit here and go back
To my parents' home over there,
To my parents' home over there.

Hey does anyone know where I can watch the 1977 japanese film, House??
 
I LOVE film and book lists, I have that OCD obsession with them where I can't stop until I cross out every single one on there, so thanks a lot!

BTW, where did you get the list from? Or are the movies your 30 classics?
