Thoughts on this movie?

Damn, this looks like a poster from a Kurosawa film

Quite possibly best jidaigeki, if not action movie, ever.

7/10

I never really got the hype for this. In my opinion, Kurosawa has made some much better movies.

At least 30 minutes too long. And I might be one of the few people who vastly prefers the first half over the second.

agreed

I liked Ran better but that's because I'm a pleb

>"Truly, we've become The Seven Samurai".

really kurosawa? really?

The duel scene between the samurai and the bandit harrassing the peasant, by any standard is 2edgy5me, but kurosawa made it genuine

I've only seen this and Yojimbo. Recommend me some essential Kurosawa.

really good 8/10

nah ran is great

Sanshiro Sugata, A rhapsody in August, Dodeskaden, I live in Fear, Kagemusha and Red Beard are my favorites.

Bottom tier kurosawa samuraishit but medium tier kurosawashit

I liked Dreams, but that's not a majority opinion

If you watched Yojimbo then you gotta watch Sanjuro.

Ran is my favorite.

Also,
Ikiru
The Bad Sleep Well
High and Low
Kagemusha

Thanks anons. I have Sanjuro and Throne of Blood to watch but I'll watch all of these afterwords.

I forgot Ikiru. I am going to kill myself. Start with Ikiru.

OK, Ikiru it is.

What are some top tier non-Kurosawa samurai movies?

I really liked 13 assassins

Hara-kiri
Sword of doom
Zatoichi series (about 50+ movies)
Samurai Trilogy, literally best trilogy around.
