I watched Battle Royale last night. Normally I avoid subtitled movies but this one had me pretty hooked all the way through, even though I found the concept a bit disturbing. A very good film, I thought. 
Departures. It was just so beautiful! It's a peaceful crying movie with the occasional smile of course, but it's just so touching and so emotinonal, not in the oh-my-god-I'm-suffering-so-much way, but in a really calm way... It sets Death and all his friends in a different point of view, not the actual dying part, but the way those staying behind - the actual victims, if you think about it - deal with the loss, and it's trying to show that there's actually nothing to be sad about, because "Death is just a gate we all pass"... And the soundtrack is so perfect that I'm crying again... no worries.

Partially down to the director/writer dying and the son doing it and Takeshi Kitano is so good in the First film while the techer in the second just doesn't come close. Still worth a look though
