As so many Japanese commented here, 203 heights is the best war movie ever made. (War between Japan and Russia) It's not just a battle scenes,though those are significantly sensational, but depicted so well how ordinary people, like school teacher, Tofu restaurant boy, even outlaws were getting involved in the fight . It depicts so well how current Japanese people see the war . Please check it.😊

Eternal Zero is the Best of all these films, followed by Grave of the Fireflies. Eternal Zero has made everyone I know cry over the loss of Pilot Officer Miyabe and how his two grandchildren learn the truth about who he was and how he was admired and despised by surviving pilots. An anti-war movie like none other in this list.

The main problem with most of these great foreign war flicks is Americans don’t know about them. TYVM for this post.
I recommend Toho Studios' 1970, "Battle of Okinawa". You'll be surprised and amazed. It's not a propaganda piece. Imagine watching the Japanese version of, "Platoon", showing war in all its hopeless, despairing, gritty, bloody horror from the view of the Japanese. The tide of war has turned against Japan. The American steel juggernaut is slowly rolling up Okinawa. No matter how hard they fight, all the Japanese troops can do in the end is die.

I was in a Japanese War movie binge two years ago and that was powerful. A side of the Battle of Okinawa that was hard to watch. From this list, i did Yamato, Eternal Zero, Emperor in August, Isoroku, Great War of Archimedes, Tora Tora Tora I also chanced upon Midway Sakusen, The Admiral (earlier iteration of Isoroku), and the Battle of Hill 203. My content box though doesnt have Nihonkai Kaisen and Battle Requiem - both depict the Battle of Tsushima and stars Mifune Toshiro as Adm Togo Heihachiro.

"Storm Over the Pacific" aka "I Bombed Pearl Harbor" produced by Toho in 1960. The Japanese carrier footage from this movie was so good in recreating flight and hangar deck scenes that it was used as stock footage in both major productions for 1976's "Midway" and, I believe, "Tora Tora Tora". It didn't hurt to have Mifune Toshiro starring as the I'll fated, and exceptionally competent, RADM Yamaguchi Tamon". Mifune also starred as General Anami Korechika in "Japan's Longest Day" (1967) and as Admiral Togo Heihachiro in "The Battle of the Japan Sea" (1969) that recreated the climatic 1905 Battle of Tsushima,. and in "Battle Anthem" (1983).

@@홍성호-q3j Absolutely, the impact of the war is devastating on so many levels. People lost their loved ones, their homes, and even their sense of hope. The sacrifices made were enormous, often forced upon those who never wanted to be part of the conflict. It's a painful reminder of how destructive war can be.

I have a few others from the list, and there are plenty of more to suggest, but maybe for next time. Take care, and all the best.
Ore wa, kimi no tame ni koso shini ni iku [I Will Die for You, AKA For Those We Love], directed in 2007 by Taku Shinjô. It is the best of the Japanese war films produced in the 21st century. It does not portray the Japanese of the war as characters educated in the post-war period, like Yamato or Eternal Zero, and it realistically portrays what the kamikaze pilots of the Air Force were like, without a prism imposed by political correctness, imposed by seventy years of post-war education.

If it's a movie about suicide attacks, I like “The last battle of Waseda and Keio” 1979 is my favorite. They couldn't play baseball because it was the enemy's sport, so they hid a lot of balls in the ground on the university grounds and went out to die. After the war, one of the survivors returns to school and digs up the balls. I cried during the end roll when Japanese college baseball in the 1970s was shown. 英霊たちの応援歌最後の早慶戦 1979

Saw Tora!3x as a young man. Saw The Wind Rises as an old man. Letters from Iwo Jima is good too but not a Japanese production. I like the near documentary style even if fictionalized rather than one centering on romance & drama for a war movie. Therefore, The Wind Rises is not a war movie but a love story & personal passion of the inventor of the Zero.

Ranking redone. The United Fleet(japanesetitle:Rengow kantai) is not on the list. This movie is a masterpiece dominated by Yamamoto Isoroku's opening line. Yamamoto Isoroku was furious that war between Japan and the US must never break out. However, at a meeting, it was decided to start a war between Japan and the US, and that scene pierces the heart. Yamamoto was forced to fight as a soldier. The scene of the "Battleship Yamato," a symbol of the Japanese Navy, making a suicide attack, and the end of the war, all of which beautifully depict the "destiny of the US refusing to surrender." If you don't know this movie, there's no point in ranking it🤔 from Japan🇯🇵

That “USA knew the attack was going to happen” is plainly a revisionist conspiracy narrative peddled by Stinnett and Toland. The Prange Trilogy of books about Pearl Harbor (At Dawn We Slept, PH The Verdict of History, and December 7, 1941: The day Japan Bombed Pearl Harbor) is a masterpiece work written by a Professor who interviewed many of the participants in the attack over teh course of 20 years. Henry Clausen’s Pearl Harbor Final Judgment is about the US postwar investigation and much of the content was never released before.
