The Seven Samurai: I've been wanting to see this movie since I saw the Magnificent Seven, which I learned was based on The Seven Samurai. The two movies are very similar and I wish that I'd watched the two movies in the opposite order. It was a bit hard to want to finish Samurai because it was so similar to the Seven, to the point that I could say, oh this is that same character etc. Samurai is very long and while it's well made, that's a lot of subtitles to read and it's also more crude than I remember the Seven being. I find my self over all drawn more to the Seven over the Samurai, both are good but in the Seven are actors I know, and a paradigm I understand much better, it's more accessible to me.
