Vengeance is Mine

Came in to mention this. Imamura's lone non-documentary of the decade and it's excellent.

The Yakuza Papers 2

All of the Yakuza Papers/Battles Without Honor and Humanity series. Kind of mad that he was knocking them out at a rate of three a year. Reminded me I need to check out more of Fukasaku's stuff from around that period.
