…people will still watch the movie the Seven Samurai and be amazed at the quality of the story, plotting and acting. It’s not my favorite move of all time, but I can’t find a flaw it it anywhere.
In my mind it combines high art and entertainment comedy and just a fantastic story about the realities of life.
Due to it’s length you can’t watch it every week, sort of like Avalon Hill’s Civilization it’s best seen maybe twice a year but it’s an event. It would be very hard for me to pick any movie above it, even the Godfather or Casablanca.
If you have never seen it find a Sunday afternoon like this one and do so. I suspect it must have been a real chore to make.
American movie goers who have never seen it will recognize the scene above redone by James Colburn in the Magnificent Seven.
Incredible stuff.
