- 'Audition' (1999) Letterboxd Rating: 3.8/5. Audition was the movie that made Takashi Miike an internationally known name and helped develop the idea of J-horror in the minds of western audiences.
- '13 Assassins' (2010) Letterboxd Rating: 3.8/5. There were already two versions of 13 Assassins that existed before Takashi Miike's 2010 remake, but he has since become the most well-known and beloved.
- 'The Happiness of the Katakuris' (2001) Letterboxd Rating: 3.7/5. There is absolutely nothing else in existence like The Happiness of the Katakuris. It's almost the textbook definition of a cult film, given it gleefully mashes up surreal comedy, family drama, zombie horror, and musical numbers in its story about the unlucky but determined Katakuri family trying to run a guest house in the countryside.
- 'The Bird People in China' (1998) Letterboxd Rating: 3.7/5. Even though one of its main characters is a member of the Yakuza, The Bird People in China certainly isn't a crime film.
