Buy new: $35.99 / Used from: $16.99
It's a shame that most people limit their movie-watching experience to solely American produced films. After all, some of the best (and certainly most unique) movies come from beyond our shores. Director Akira Kurosawa is as close to a household name as a foreign filmmaker can be in the States, and Yojimbo is my personal favorite of his films.

Some Like it Hot was considered to be the funniest movie ever made in its time, and it still holds up today. You'll be surprised at how much our social mores have changed in the interim decades! And, of course, you have to love the glamor shots of the famous Hotel Del Coronado.
