Japan Cinema Movies, The Golden Age 1950's



Just a list I have. Their are many more. Many are n-o-t available on DVD or very expensive (40 -55 dollars each)

Is the "Golden Age "1950-1959" or "1950-1969" ? When did "Pink Films" and "Roman Porno" take over ?

- -> Gate Of Flesh (Director: Seijun Suzuki, 1964)
(not sexploitation, this is a very very very good movie !!.)

- -> The Sea Is Watching (Umi wa miteita, Akira Kurosawa 2002)
(very very good movie, 2002)

-- > Sansho the Bailiff (Mizoguchi, 1954)

- -> Diary of Oharu (Saikaku ichidai onna, Kenji Mizoguchi 1952)

- -> When a Woman Ascends the Stairs (Onna ga kaidan wo agaru toki,
