7. The Conformist (1970)
8. Blade Runner (1982)
9. A Better Tomorrow II (1987)
10. La Jetée (1962)

>Bruce Lee's 1973 classic Enter the Dragon takes the top spot on Watanabe's list. Watanabe stated, “I love Bruce Lee himself, not the movie.” His second pick is the 1980 Japanese movie The Beast to Die followed by the 1965 French New Wave movie Pierrot le Fou. Watanabe noted The Beast to Die is “the most traumatic movie. An unforgettable nightmare.” On Pierrot le Fou, he said actors “[Jean-Paul] Belmondo and [Anna] Karina embody the director's ideas."

based or cringe?

This is the 2nd film he mentions, with Yusaku Matsuda as main character.
>A journalist steals a gun from a cop after killing him and goes on a spree of robbery and murder.

>Le Samouraï (1967)
French movie how is this Shinciro watanbe or whatever

It's okay. A typical taste of a Jap boomer who grew up in the 70s and loves movies.

Why the fuck did he choose A Better Tomorrow 2? It's way worse than the first one.
