The Seven Samurai and the one which influenced Last Man Standing (Yokimbo?) are terrific, but I haven't seen Hidden Fortress yet.
Have you ever seen Akira Kurosawa's Dreams, with Martin Scorcesse as Vincent Van Gogh?
I've got 9 of his films on dvd (all the samurai era) have yet to see Dreams , I think it got a bit of a panning from the critics ? Do you recommend it ?
