The all time classic. The Magnificent Seven was a remake of this movie. Villagers get fed up with constant attacks of bandits and hire a group of samurai to help protect them and their crop.

The all time monster classic. The original version is more dramatic with concerns about the impact of nuclear weapons testing of the atomic age.

One of the greatest movies ever, Japanese or otherwise. A brutal rape and murder are described through the eyes of four different witnesses, including the accused and the victim. See how each has their own point of view as to what really happened.

Remade as the spaghetti western "A Fistful of Dollars." A wandering samurai enters a town where two gangs are feuding for total control and he plays one against the other.

An environmental imapct story and how the industrial incursions have their affects on the inhabitants of an old forest inhabited by supernatural animal spirits.

The follow up to Yojimbo.

This is a little weird. Yakuza battling zombies in the woods with a seemingly almost innocent couple trapped in the middle. It will definitely leave you thinking at the end.
