 Classic & contemporary Japanese Cinema... Films with eng. subs. in MY DVD Collection

A log of all the films I have watched in 2021. I only give full number ratings on scale from 1 to 5. This means I sometimes have to make difficult calls in whether I round down or up IMDB scores (e.g. 7 becomes either 3/5 or 4/5 feature for the review blurp). But in the first place numerical ratings are only rough indications of film's quality and merit so I think this is fine.

THE GIST OF THE LIST: The "Locked Room Mystery" - and with it the "Impossible Crime" - is a popular sub-genre of mystery-detective literal. They're cerebral puzzles, lateral-thinking riddles, enveloped within a tight crime narrative. Despite being a pure joy to read, few of these clever yarns have made it to screen... which is a shame.
