Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. I simply loved this movie! The four stars (depicted in the pic above) turned in very good performances, as well as one of the most 'homoerotic' scenes in movie history between Bowie and Sakamoto. Ryuichi Sakamoto also wrote the movie's beautiful score, which includes "Forbidden Colours" which is very well known. Tom Conti's character is one of the most memorable in WWII movies as well.
FYI: Criterion is releasing this movie on DVD and BD next month!
Also, the main reason the score and title track to the movie is much more widely known than the film itself is due to the fact that Ryuichi Sakamoto is an incredible electronic, orchestral and classical musician:
