TCM's samurai day really got me into a samurai mood and if I don't satisfy my urges, I may just commit harakiri.

Whatcha got?

I know of Seven Samurai which I plan on seeing, and I've seen Samurai 1 and 2 on TCM. I've also seen 13 Assassins (great damn movie).

I was hoping for something not Tom Cruise. Seen it.

How about some Japanese films?

I've seen it. It's on Netflix. I'm actually a big anime fan. Watching Evangelion 2.22 to go to bed tonight.

Thanks.

Glad you got to catch some
What all did you watch?


You might as well go ahead and make it your aim to get ahold of as many Kurosawa movies as possible.

Seven Samurai, as with a few people around here, is one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time no doubt. But I wouldn't start with that. It would be cool to start with some of his later and work backwards.

Something like
Ran
Kagemusha
Red Beard
Sanjuro and Yojimbo. I'm not too crazy about these two.
The Hidden Fortress. Probably a top 10-20 all time movie for me.
Throne of Blood
Seven Samurai
Rashomon

You'd be doing yourself a favor in watching any of those though.

Gotcha. I'll keep that in mind.

Alright. Keeping Seven Samurai for later doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Thanks for the list. I'm gonna bookmark this for later.

I have to get some rest. Lots to do in the AM.

Peace.
