Robokon (Japan, 2003)


This is a surprisingly terrific, feel-good down to earth film about a high school robot competition held in Japan. It starts off as a quiet, meditative movie then builds up into an exciting robot contest. 

Masami Nagasawa turns in another wonderful performance as a high school student who ends up going into the "Robokon" contest. Shun Oguri also stars as a robot engineer going through personality problems. Near the end of this flick, you'll be cheering for both of them to win the trophy.
