Rashomon is my favourite... but Ikiru is quite nice... and
Yojimbo... really... all his films are nice... see as many
as you can

hidden fortress is what star wars was somewhat based on.
magnificent seven was based on seven samurai and fistful of
dollars was based on yojimbo.

i remember why i got mixed up now..
hidden fortress was what star was based on (as machineofgod
so kindly clarified)
and throne of blood was basically a re-telling of macbeth..
i knew i knew something about both films, i just didnt know
what i knew about which (if that makes more sense)

We're studying Japanese Cinema in my Film Studies class and
Kurosawa is one of the directors we are consentrating on.

Rashoman and Yojimbo are two excellent films, he truly is an
auteur. Mafune (excuse me for spelling his name wrong) is
such a great actor, love him to bits.

takahsi shimura is an awesome kurosawa regular as well. up
to kagemush (i think), he had a lot of people as regulars
but he started using new people after that.

whoops, dodeksukaden i think was the first with all news
actors, if not that, then it was dersu uzala for sure.

also for those who didnt know, ran is based on king lear.
and obviously The idot is based on the dostoevsky novel.

i'd like to dredge up this thread only to say that Star Wars
is based on a lot of stuff, particularly but not exclusively
Hidden Fortress... and George Lucas wears his influences on
his fucking sleeve... rather than subtle dialectical
hommage... it's verbatim shot for shot recreations of all
the films he saw in film school... thank you...

i don't think anyone said it was based solely on hidden
fortress..
no one ever accused lucas of trying to conceal this fact..

oh, and if you are going to opt for verbatim shot for shot
recreations of all the films you saw in film school, telling
everyone thats what youve done doesn't make it more
credible, or creative. theres no room for irony in plagarism
- you have to do something personal with it. luckily for
lucas, a lot of people believed he had..

yeah... i know... i'm not saying anyone did... i just felt
like digging into Lucas with an exclamation point
