I think those are all must see Kurosawa films...
Haven't seen these ones yet. They're next up on the list.
Stray Dog was the first one of his works I ever saw... 1st movie made before 1950 that actually held my attention
just copped the Yojimbo/Sanjuro double feature on Blu Ray:tiger:
that's how i knew he was a good director. i sat through seven samurai and didn't fall asleep. instead i immediately wanted to see more of his filmography. that arrow scene in throne of bloodkurosawa is in my top 5.
On wiki, they said they used real arrows shot along a wire and the arrows were sometimes as close as an inch from hitting actors and crew members. One of the actors had nightmares about it even after finishing the film![]()
