Outside of the U.S that is. I’ve recently gotten a region free dvd/blu ray player so that I could start expanding to foreign films. So far I’ve seen Three Musketeers D'Artagnan and really enjoyed it so I’d appreciate some more recommendations please. Good ones of course :cool:

yakuza graveyard (original and remake)

Man, I love Kinji Fukasaku's old Yakuza films. His run of crime films through the 60's and 70's is amazing, especially when you consider he was releasing multiple films almost every year for those two decades. It's a shame they're so slept on and Fukasaku is only really known in the west for directing Battle Royale

Graveyard of Honor
Sympathy for the Underdog
Proxy War
Police Tactics
Cops vs Thugs
Hiroshima Death Match
Final Episode
Street Mobster
...

Lots of other great recommendations in your list too

I would recommend some classic French crime films as well

Le Samourai
Le Cercle Rouge
Bob le Flambeur
Rififi
Le Doulos
Un Flic
Le Trou
