The Best of the Letter "S:" Seven Samurai (1954)

For my original, very long, review of Seven Samurai, click here.

High adventure.  Exceptional scripting, direction, and acting.  Flawless execution.  Fantastic cinematography.  Great action.  Charming humor.  Above all, highly meaningful.

Seven Samurai is fast becoming my movie by which all others are judged.  Honestly, it is very hard to think of a single way this film could possibly be improved.  It's about as perfect as can be imagined.  On top of perfection in production, it is great entertainment.

Consult my original review, linked above, for a MUCH more thorough explanation for why you must watch Seven Samurai.

Don't miss this one!
