What are the BEST Samurai movies? I'd really like to expand my knowledge of them. They can be in Japanese, I don't mind subtitles.

The Sword of Doom
Hara-Kiri
Anything Kurosawa has made

Thank you sir, these look quite interesting.

Seven samurai
Ran
You might like kagemusha but I think Ran and SS are both much better.
I don't have any non kurasowa recommendations. Last Samurai I guess only because I can't think of anything else.

Thanks Amigo.

Yojimbo and the sequel, Sanjuro (one of the best endings ever in the history of cinema)

RAN

Seven Samurai

Three Outlaw Samurai

The Sword of Doom

Hara-kiri

The Hidden Fortress

I appreciate it, my friend.

The Last Samurai.

>white man arrives in Japan
>kills Jap samurai
>fucks his wife
>steals his armor
>gets village blacksmith to make him a new katana for free
>kills more Japs in battle
>comes back to village to impregnate more Jap women

Nobody mentioned the Zatoichi series, so I'm mentioning the adventures of blind masseur.

Forget The Last Samurai, watch the Shogun miniseries. John "Anjin-dono" Blackthorne is the OG weeaboo.

tom cruise has been folded a million times

you forgot

>emperor praises him as a hero

based white man

Those engravings on the blade serve no tactical purpose whatsoever.

Thank you for your contributions, wonderful friends.

Le samourai

>Le samourai
Are you sure this is about a Samurai?

>Wearing sandals with armor

Whats stopping your enemy from just slicing your foot off?

Throne of Blood

Honoru.

Yojimbo

Thank you and thank you.

did he make Musashi movies?
the one-two i know from the 50s is boring af

You want good Musashi stuff, you'll have to read the manga Vagabond.
Also if you're willing to read manga, Lone Wolf & Cub.

but it does, it had you to read it too, and so let your guard down

You're pretty good.

>Vagabond
i did that, just didn't picked up again after the many hiatus. And it had some silly differences compared to the books i dont quite understand. (Sasaki being deaf, dick touchings while greeting the other)

>Sasaki being deaf
I have no clue why that happened either.

that's why he's so small

That's the maker's mark, you rancid faggot.

Ten No Chi, aka "Heaven and Earth". Uesugi vs Takeda, massed samurai battles, find it if you can.

Samurai assassin

The fuck is going on with that "belt"? Looks like iron sausages.

u mean sanjuro right?

Can you teleport twice as fast by dual wielding katanas?

Start with 7 samurai. Its 3 and a half hours long but feels like two. Straightforward and beautiful as fuck. Real great

The hidden fortress
Yojimbo and sanjuro
Hara kiri
Samurai spy
Three outlaw samurai
Throne of blood
Seven samurai
Roshomon
Goyokin
Kuroneko

Not samurai but worth the watch, the ballad of nayrama

Sword of doom, sword of the beast and samurai assassin are shit tier

le samourai

This is what began my Jap-ai

OP, I don't know if Azumi, counts, but they're entertaining movies

The twilight samurai
One of my favourite movies

>That's the maker's mark

No, it's a poem. Jap swordsmiths put their brand/signature on the tang. Not the blade.

>Whats stopping your enemy from just slicing your foot off?

Nothing. Japs weren't very big on foot protection.

>did he make Musashi movies?

Kurosawa? Nah. Watch the TV show. It's better. Pic related.

>The fuck is going on with that "belt"?
It's rope in a silk sleeve.

>Nobody mentioned the Zatoichi series

Because those are gangster movies that happen to have a token samurai at the end of every one.

Appreciated buddies.

Thank you as well.
