69. Another great Japanese on is "Ikiru" (1952)
I would still rank "Tokyo Story" at the top and "Bicycle Thieves" just a tiny notch below it but "Ikiru" still ranks up there on my short list of truly great films (along with Au Hasard Balthazar and Soy Cuba). None of these are "feel good" films but all stand head and shoulders above average Hollywood output in my opinion. It's almost like Hollywood is afraid to tackle deeper and more universal issues.
