Seventh Samurai

I just saw that Seven Samurai is playing at the local cinema, and I was wondering if anyone has seen it--whether it's worth going to. It's supposed to be one of the best movies ever made

I haven't seen it since high school. I remember liking it, but not loving it. But, as long as you can handle the theater, I think it's always good to make up your own mind. We can learn from the things we love and the ones we don't love.

I like it a lot. I would definitely go to the movies to see it if it was playing here.

One of the greatest film epics ever made. Be sure to stretch your legs during the intermission.

If you have time and energy, do it! I remember it's good, for Japan interested, Person.

It's an older film, 50's era B/W and I believe with subtitles. I saw it once many years ago and thought it very good from a historical standpoint. Definately a plus if Japanese culture interests you, particularly Samurai and medieval Japan period.

It has been copied many times which changed setting including the western: The Magnificent Seven and animated film: A Bug's Life (Which are also both good in their own right).

Don't forget my favorite one, Three Amigos.

If you find out that you like Seven Samurai, you just hit the jackpot. Akira Kurosawa made a number of really good movies. I also liked Rashomon, Yojimbo, and Sanjuro among others.

I wound up going and it was sooooo good. Big scenes. Weirdly funny. Tragic. Visually stunning. Definitely epic. And seeing it in our early 19th century theatre was the butter on the popcorn.
