Akira
All-time great of Japanese animation. The adventures of bike gang member Tetsuo in post-nuclear apocalyptic Tokyo. Bleak outlook, violent narrative and utterly coherent cinematography.

James Bond flicks got slicker, but rarely better. Good filmmaking, not just a mix of a kinkily sadistic gold smuggler who’s willing to nuke Fort Knox and castration by laser. Not to mention, a heroine named Pussy Galore.
