I just remembered Ring was released this year, so I've added it. I didn't see it on the Wikipedia list at all.

It was released in Japan in January 1998 but it wasn't released in other countries until 1999.

The way release dates work makes it difficult to decide where to put some films. Do we go by the 'very first' release (which generally happens to qualify it for award season), or do we go by when it has a 'wide release'?

I didn't see it in the 1999 list on Wikipedia either. I was looking out for it. Or maybe I'm just being blind.

Well Wikipedia's list usually only contains 'wide release' movies, but IMDb says it was released on video in the USA in March 2003.

Ok. I assumed Ring would be a big enough film to be on Wikipedia. It's the most well known of J-Horror. Odd.

Agree on all counts. I think it's his greatest film.
