Battle Royale may be the big jackoff for the cool kids about a year ago, but it's still a really strong movie. The violence is that "OMG SO COOL" factor among a lot of people, but the story and development is really great for people who aren't just watching it for the gore.

Ichi's good too. The confusion is Miike's signature, I think. He did the same thing in Audition, but he's actually more coherent in Ichi. Still a good film, though.

You wanna talk about overrated movies? Try watching Lost in Translation.
