The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Brain, is 'Kagemusha' one of your favourite films?

I think the most fair answer is yes. It is flawed, but I've always liked it. Wish I could watch it in good quality somewhere.

Have any movies come out in that time that deserve to go on the list?

1917?

The story is too nonsensical IMHO.

Yes I felt it was missing something, as I watched the Coppola/Lucas sponsored international release and the latter part of the film seamed to only have 25-50% of the necessary subtitles. :hmm:

They put Pearl Harbour at #3.  1917 is more a much better film than Pearl Harbour.

Okay, I will give a thumbs up to "1917" deserving at least a mention. And "Pearl Harbor" is a movie that will be banned under my dictatorship, at least.

1917 has style points, but very much style over substance, the way the whole thing 'flows' and they get through German lines into another British line is just....wut?

Dunkirk on the other hand is excellent.
