As much as I love Japanese things I only seem to have seen one Kurosawa film, Stray Dog, which I though was OK. I can see how that one film alone has influenced quite a few others. |

the other recent japanese film I saw was Uzumak (spiral). I cant decide what I think of it, it was cool at times but overly corny other times. other non-japanese films I saw recently were: -Naqoyqatsi(good but I expected different) also I havent seen all of koyaanisqatsi or any of powaqatsi -Adaptation(not as good as being john malkovich, decent none the less) -American Psycho(coulda been better) -Amelie(magical) -Gaza Strip (excellent, really gives a view to the situation between israel and palestine) |

Seven Sanurai is one of the best films ever made, everyone should see it! |

I've seen Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Rashomon and (i think) Sanjuro. I like his style. Old skool action flicks. I like the song the kids sing in Yojimbo! Can't remember which one "Last Man Standing" with Bruce Willis is a remake of. |

does he make action films? i saw "last man standing" which suprised me |

I was probably being a little unfair with "action films". There is a fair bit of action in the films I've seen, but he builds real drama aswell, with great cinamatography. |

Throne of Blood is excellent and The Hidden Fortress is the one that inspired George Lucas for Star Wars. |

i only saw his hollywood industrial light and magic flick akira kurosawa's dreams i usely tell people thats my favorite movie of all time though, together with koyaaniqatski |

Yojimbo is probably my favorite. Can a human being possibly get any cooler than Toshiro Mifune? I seriously doubt it. It also has one of the coolest musical themes in history. |
||||||||

|
|
let me reiterate: ikiru |
