This is my personal toplist of Japanese films. I compiled it from +/- 1400 Japanese feature films and documentaries I watched so far. All titles received a rating of at least 8 out of 10.

The edition presented here is the December 2022-version of this list. It's the 5th update since the original list consisting of 300 titles was published on the Dutch website MovieMeter in June 2015.

These are the fourteen new entries since the previous edition (May 2021):
078 | Confessions of a Dog
121 | The 47 Ronin
172 | Monsters Club
180 | Riverside Mukolitta
187 | True Mothers
198 | Moon Child
203 | Drive My Car
213 | Ora, Ora, Be Goin' Alone
218 | Goodbye, DonGlees!
236 | Remain in Twilight
254 | Miyamoto Musashi
288 | Sketches of Kaitan City
294 | The Family Game
