I had heard the hype about Seven Samurai many times over the past several years but decided not to get it because I was scared it was one of those crappy art house jobs. I eventually got it last year just to end the mystery and my god I loved it. I am not sure what it is but no other film comes close to what it gives me.
I have since looked around for other films which may have the same greatness but I am very warey of picking up a crap unrealistic samurai film.
Can anyone who has seen the film advise me on other films which give the same... whatever it is?
NB. I think the thing it gave me was the ability to get inside each of the characters and to be able to experience events through their eyes.
