A top movie which was of course was the inspiration for The Magnificent Seven etc.

The Seven Samurai, one of my favorites. The battle scene where they let only one or two bandits in their village at a time, to be surrounded and stabbed by the villagers with bamboo poles, are both brutal and realistic. The part where they let in a mounted archer and lancer was especially good.

I used to be a Japan Film fanatic. I like 7 Samurai. But my favourite Kurosawa flick is Throne of Blood. Ran, Kagomusha and Rashomon are also excellent. All kind of sad though.
