I'm looking for more movies along the lines of Japanese folk horror films, a genre which I think has produced some of the best films ever made. None of them are scary really, more like elegiac and poetic, but they can be creepy. I find them to be both beautiful and macabre. Some of the greats:

Kwaidan
Portriat of Hell
Ugetsu
Onibaba
Woman in the Dunes
Jigoku
Kuroneko
some segments of Akira Kurosawa's Dreams

If you know of any more like these, I would appreciate the mention of those titles. If you haven't seen those and like lyrical stories and gorgeous imagery, you would do yourself a favor in checking those out. In my opinion they are not only some of the high points in horror but of all film drama period.
