I found this among my way too many movies. I forgot I even had it.

"Adventure. Excitement. A Jedi craves not these things ...

the film that inspired Star Wars and one of many masterpieces by the immortal Kurosawa!

Starting to watch Kurosawa's "The Hidden Fortress" (partial inspiration for Star Wars ep 4), but I won't finish it tonite.

This is the film Lucas used to create the foundation for Star Wars. :)

I have not watched some Kurosawa in a long time, and its said much of this film inspired Star Wars Kurosawa and star wars how can you go wrong.

Introducing Mike to some Akira Kurosawa...

With all the Star Wars I've been watching recently, figured I'd go back and see the movie it all came from. An eat sushi.

Gotta get in my Kurosawa + Mifune fix...

A Kurosawa masterpiece that helped shape the visions for Star Wars! [Especially the sand scenes that remind me of Tattooine and a defiantly stubborn princess!] GREAT FILM! ;}

Not watching Seven Samurai...
