Just wanted to know what everyones fav samurai movies are. Mine are Seven Samurai and the Zatoichis.

does kill bill count? lol

Im going to have to count to 10 calmly.

Probably either Zatoichi or the Lone Wolf and Cub movies (apart from the last one).

 

[mikeormy]

I think Kill Bill counts, it has Sonny Chiba so id say that qualifies it.

 

[Capuchin]

Rashomon.

 

[Chris]

Not really a film, but the TV series Zankuro (which had Watanabe Ken as the lead role) from ages ago.

Does "Ronin" count, I know it not a samurai at all but the name Ronin dose mean exiled samurai or somthing along those lines, LOL JK, tis good film though, Im gona have to go with "Seventh Samurai" as well 8)

 

[mikeormy]

Yeh I think ronin means materless samurai. Cus when their lord died they were meant to kill themselves, though some refused.

 

[Shades]

there like Samurai for hire aint they, They failed to save there master, refused to kill them selfs so the hire them selfs out to other masters as Mercanarys.

 

[mikeormy]

yeh i think thats right, like lone wolf in babycart.

 

[Ramen89]

Yep that is right.

 

[McIcy]

Gotta be the anime movies to Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X) and Zatoichi is brilliant (love the dancing farmers)

 

[Ryo Chan]

has to be Samurai X too

but only cause it's the only one i've watched

 

[Lupus]

I wouldn't really call Samurai X a Samurai movie, more like an anime movie. D;

I like Seven Samurai.

I would say Rashomon but it isn't really a samurai film so I'll say Hidden Fortress and Seven Samurai. The American mini-series Shogun was also great although I am told the novel is superior.
