There are several I like a lot lot from 1998, but there aren't any where I can remember the first time I saw them as vividly as the film which introduced me to the brilliance of Hideo Nakata. I'd heard it was a good film and took the opportunity to record it when it was on Channel 4 (or Film4) late one night. Watching the video the next evening, I was slightly irritated by the comm commercials, but was able to fast forward through them as I was completely sucked in. This was the film which began my (and I imagine many other's) love affair with Asian horror.
