    Just wondering if anyone knew what film the title sequence in MI is from ?

    You know the one, where there is this old guy and his castle is burning all around him. It looked really cool......anyone know ?

    RAN by Akira Kurosawa.

    According to my Library of Samurai Films it was Ran by Akira Kurosawa.
    If you are interested These films by the same director are a must: Seven Samurai, Throne of Blood, Kagemusha, Yojimbo.
    I've also been recommended Samurai Banners but as yet I haven't got it.

    My favorite Kurosawa; The Hidden Fortress. A Kensai tricks and bullies two silly runaway Yari Ashagarus into helping him rescue a beautiful princess and her gold in the aftermath of the defeat of her clan in battle.

    Where can you get those movies? I've been dying for some real samurai cinema to balance out my recent glut of kung-fu movies. Is there a place I can go online??

    Okay thanks lads. RAN.....I'll see if I can find it anywhere.

    Yeah I love Kurosawa films.....seen Seven Samurai and Kagemusha. Both brillant. Is Yojimbo the one where the samurai comes to town and there are 2 gangs fighting for control ? (The one where Eastwood stared in the western remake of fistful of dollars ?)
    If so then I've seen that one as well.

    Thanks folks for the answers though.
