Here's a list I've made ranking Yaguchi's movies that I've seen so far. I want to update it sometime to focus less on ranking and more on information, but it's something easy to share for anyone who wants to check out this writer-director.

Just saw these stills from Akira Kurosawa's High and Low and said "Good heavens" out loud.

Man peering out of a bed of flowers with a reflection shining back from his glasses.

Back facing shot of a man watching sail boats from behind a fence.

Silhouette of a man pulling a gun on another man as he looks at the backdrop of the mountains

Mustached man gripping his briefcase tightly, face scrunched up in a scowl, as he rides in a filled passenger car.

if you have a library card (which all of you should have), you most likely have free (!!!) access to Kanopy aka an underrated, ad free streaming service with a ton of movies + short films

FREE!!! through the library!!! your smart tv most likely as an app for it- mine does!

Don't let the current news distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda Civics with Spoon engines and on top of that, he just came into Harry's and ordered three T66 turbos with NOS and a Motec system exhaust.
