Seven Samurai
The Last Samurai

Both are excellent. The first is widely regarded as a GOAT and the other is criminally underrated.

Seven Samurai is the best of all the Samurai movies and light years better than The Last Samurai.


The Hidden Fortress
is a great Samurai move as well and the movie Star Wars is based on.

Tbh I thought I added Yojimbo.

Was also going to possibly say the Shogun miniseries which I also enjoyed

For some reason it seems like it's not cool to like The Last Samurai but I think it's amazing and I thought Cruise was amazing

The Mini-Series "Shogun" is the GOAT IMO. It really delved into the whole Feudal System of Japan during the times of the Samurai.

Not only did Richard Chamberlain nail his role, I love the fact that the Japanese spoke in the native tongue with the use of subtitles.

I thought Ken Watanabe as Katsumoto stole that movie.

Agree. I like the film and I tried to not like it because I'm not a big Cruise fan but it was solid. Ken was the cement of that movie

btw,

If you didn't see the Shogun mini-series when it first came out...

Give it a watch.

People probably think it's cheesy, 80's, Richard Chamberlain, blah, blah, blah...

I was expecting it to be dated and cheesy. But rewatched it a few years ago and it really holds up.

Great TV miniseries. I mean it has Mifune in it for godssake...Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Throne of Blood.
