Kinema Junpo's Top Japanese Films

Kinema Junpo is a Japanese film magazine that started in 1919. Every decade they compile the top 100 or so Japanese films of all time. This is the top 100 from the list published in 2009. Note: because of how they did the tiers, I will include all 198 films.

Oddly after the first 25 or so films, the group the list into tiers beginning with the earliest films and working towards more recent films. After each tier this process starts again. So all the films they have selected will be entered here.
