Fox, Dean Stockwell, Hugh Laurie or John Simm in it.

Bak fat moh lui zyun (1993)
Complete and utter crack: but we loved it!
What happens when you mix 'Chinese Ghost Story' and 'Fantastia' together? You get 'The Bride with White Hair'! Not only does it have killer Siamese twins, random wire work and men growing breasts, but it also invents a new form of weaponry: killer hair! Now come on, ladies, who wouldn't want a superpower like that? And it has a goat! Who doesn't love a good old goat, eh? So, in conclusion, beautifully filmed, badly dubbed (in the English version there's a farmer guy with an Irish accent) but completely and utterly mad.
But if this isn't your cup of tea, go and watch Kurosawa's 'Rashomon';thats always a good laugh!
Ugetsu monogatari (1953)
The Oddball of Japanese Cinema
This film, although not the worst film ever made, is certainly one of the most surreal, odd and completely pointless pictures ever made.
Why is the woman a ghost?
How does the stupid Tomei become a samurai warrior?
And how come there was so much smoke when they were crossing the river?!
We need answers people!
I wouldn't watch this is I were you.... go watch a Kurosawa film instead!
Rashomon's always a good laugh!
