    The Matrix trilogy rates high up there on my favorite movies list. I found this article that asserts that The Matrix was influenced by GITS.

    "Ghost in the Shell seems to have been even more of a strong influence, including the visual concept of a cable being connected into the neck, as well as the cinematography in some of the chase scenes. In fact, the directors of The Matrix, the Wachowski Brothers, have said that they were so impressed with Ghost in the Shell that they wanted to make a live-action movie like it and even gave a video of the anime to the creative staff when making The Matrix as an example of the kind of world they wanted to create. Oh, and speaking of Japanese influence, did you know that the falling green digital code that appears in the movie contains mirror images of Japanese katakana letters?"

    Wow!! I didn't realise this!! That's pretty cool! I love Ghost in the Shell! :D I hope they don't make a live action version of it :confused: Can't see how well it would turn out. Unless Masamune Shirow have creative control over it!

    I seem to remember reading somewhere about Avatar being influenced by Princess Mononoke and Nausciaa.

    Whoa! Didn't realise that a lot of people suspect Transformers was influenced by the Macross franchise!!
