Skylath Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Probably might not be as low key due to a lot of the people on here being from the decade, but this one is a refreshing noir from the Seventies that while playing on some of the tropes of the genre is genuinely intriguing and keeps you glued to the seat. (Some of you fans from Files from the Police Squad! might also catch a familiar line.) Edited March 6, 2021 by Skylath Capitalizing might doesn't make right!

Skylath Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 From the man who made movies like Seven Samurai and Yojimbo who almost singlehandedly influenced western cinema, definitely can recommend Kagemusha, which kind of comes after that awkward period of his failure with Tora Tora Tora! and so on. A former thief takes the role of a daimyo due to bearing a similar likeness to the one that has passed, and details bonding with his predecessor's grandson and being amongst his clan. Costume design and color scheme was pretty superb as well: Skunkboy and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Funny movie no one knows about: Young Doctors In Love Favorite movie no one knows about: Local Hero. Absolutely love this film. Good TV?

BTW, all males should go to you tube and watch Rita Hayworth sing Put the blame on Mame from Gilda. Namtak and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bird Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I watched criterion network so that I could see the six lone wolf and cub movies I highly recommend them. There’s generally an unfortunate rape scene in each movie but otherwise they’re very good Namtak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horror stuff was very good , almost like a “wolfenstein” movie , WW2 militaria was not accurate though , but as is the norm with most Hollywood war flicks .... bentbryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
