the original series is classic if any of you want more shogun content. plus the book of course.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Oh nice. I knew about the book but not the series. Arigato wainds-san ....

OG is a classic, Richard Chamberlain and Toshirô Mifune killed it.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Loved the new series, thinking of picking up the book just to read whatever nuances were left out of the adaptation. Need more Yabushige in my life.

Yeah I think I'll start it tonight. I'm on the last ep of Fear the Walking Dead s4 so it's perfect timing.

[WorldObliteration33]

Ran, Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Throne of Blood, Lone Wolf and Cub series, etc.

Perfect suggestions. Adding to those; Kagemusha, Chushingura (1962), Rashomon, The Hidden Fortress, the Samurai Trilogy, the Zatoichi series...

 

[CiG]

And of course the most important samurai film ever made.....

harakiri is a major one as well.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

I keep seeing Harakiri sitting at the top spot of a lot of lists.

Yojimbo, Throne of Blood and Seven Samuria are the ones ive heard of before. Cant find any of 'em on hulu or peacock. Will check netlfix later qhen i get a chance

Probably only going to find them in the criterion app. Ran is sometimes on Netflix

they're available on loads of illegal streaming/download sites if you don't mind going down that road, always worth having this bookmarked.
