Ugetsu Monogatari
(Tales of the Pale and Silvery Moon After the Rain)
Well I don't have the eloquence to describe this movie as well as the websites I have found that describe it. So, you can go here for a nice entry on Ugetsu.
This is a Japanese movie diredcted by Kenji Mizoguchi from 1953. It tells the story of two men whose greed lead them in different directions during a time of feudal war. Full of beauty, allegory, and reflection, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I was just buzzing through tv listings on TiVo and noticed it. Glad I did.

this is pretty much one of the dozen or so universally acknowledged masterpieces of cinema. critics can't seem to come together over some really great stuff, but this one is beyond criticism it seems.
