So many movies, so little time and money. Viewing projects you have currently on hold, just waiting for the right time (and lottery win) to come.

Katsu-shin's Zatoichi movies (23 films remaining)
Furyo Bancho (Delinquent Boss) series (16 films)
Abashiri Prison and New Abashiri Prison series (18 films)
All other Ken Takakura Toei Yakuza movies (a lot of films)
Hibari Misora movies (a large number of films)
Jo Shishido Nikkatsu Action movies (plenty of films)
Akira Kobayashi Nikkatsu Action movies (too damn many films)
Moon Lee movies
Italian spaghetti, giallo and horror

- Italian/Spanish Spaghetti Western (you gotta have a hobby besides Japanese films :D)
- Anime Series (GitS: SAC, Serial Experiments Lain, Cowboy Bebop, Paranoia Agent)
- More Miike Movies (currently I've watched 27)
- I'm almost through with the work of Takashi Ishii, so I may just as well move to another interesting director. Satoshi Miki for instance.
