Summertime and time for bad movies..but also time to watch a classic. My recommendation, if you haven't seen it, is "Ugestu". It is also my recommendation if you have seen it. (Netflix rents this.) Wikipedia describes it more succinctly than I could, here's what they say:
Ugetsu is a 1953 Japanese ghost story film directed by Kenji Mizoguchi. Set in 16th century Japan, it stars Masayuki Mori and Machiko Kyō, and is inspired by short stories by Ueda Akinari andGuy de Maupassant. It is one of Mizoguchi's most celebrated films, regarded by critics as a masterwork of Japanese cinema, a definitive piece during Japan's Golden Age of Film.
