You will never become the film fan you aspire to if you arent willing to make sacrifices!
What exactly is criterion?"The Criterion Collection is a privately held company which produces and releases authoritative consumer versions of "important classic and contemporary films" on DVD. "
That's exactly why I didn't get the thing. 40 dollars for one movie, 2 of the discs being the movie itself. Ridiculous.Then you'll never be a film lover! A very large amount of classic films are criterion and they got for 50+ a movie some times.
:-\I think they have criterion's. I am pretty sure in-store places like blockbuster don't.
Netflix it is!
Just buy the superior American remake, The Magnificent Seven, for like $8 and call it a day.What!? The best remake of Seven Samurai was Three Amigos with...MARTIN SHORT(yes the movie was inspired by seven samurai):

But you approve of the other "remakes" such as Three Amigos and A Bug's Life I take it.Just buy the superior American remake, The Magnificent Seven, for like $8 and call it a day.
I just died a little :-\
Never seen either one.Three Amigo's is Seven Samurai but in Mexico. And replace Samurai's with Martin Short, Chevy Chase, and Steve Martin. It is as good as the concept probably seems to be! :-*
People get all up on The Seven Samurai's junk because it's foriegn, but The Magnificent Seven benefits from being in English, more entertaining and with better actors. Yul Brenner and Steve McQueen? C'mon, nothing can beat that, even if you happen to live inside Kurosawa's rectum just because, "omg he is teh black white foriegn film jap master!"
It's not really The Seven Samurai, but it does borrow from that concept. It's funny, though.I admit I liked it as a kid. I haven't seen it in ages though.
I love Seven Samurai because its a damned great piece of adventure entertainment. I could have been made in Hollywood a year ago by Spielberg and my opinion wouldnt change.
Im not up AK's rectum because hes a "foreign jap master", Im up there because hes one of the 5 greatest filmmakers who ever lived.
I'm not necessarily saying you, but that seems to be the reason in general. I wouldn't even put him in my Top 10. I believe American film buffs subconsciously think that a decent foriegn film is great because they can't believe people can make decent films outside of America. Plus, it makes them seem more cultured.But But Casino Royale is done by EON. A british film company.
I can think of maybe 3-4 American directors who even come close to having the filmography and consistency that AK did.
Say what you want about cultures, but those are the facts.
It may be produced by a British film company, but it is a Hollywood franchise.How? The franchise started as a british book series and then became a british film franchise. Dr. No was made with the british in mind, not america.I can think of maybe 3-4 American directors who even come close to having the filmography and consistency that AK did.

Those aren't facts - film is subjective!

But they refused to let Spielberg and Tarintino to direct it because they are american! They have a strict no american policy in allowing directors for Bond.
Sure it is. But I still think AK's status is almost deserving of crossing the line into FACT.
Nah, Godard was a pretentious French new wave guy, and I pretty much hate that entire movement (White Man will soon kill me), wheareas AK was a flatout visionary.
you can't pimp a hack like Raimi and then ding mothafuckin' Kurosawa. That is a fact.
