I don't believe that I actually read from someone who wants a colourized version of this classic!!! The Criterion Collection has been remastered so that the images are vivid and crisp but they left the movie in its original black and white state.
If you want colour, you should check out Akira Kurosawa's Dreams. Talk about an orgy of colour.
The Seven Samurai remains my favourite Kurosawa movie though. I also delight in seeing how many different ways it has been remade. The most famous remake is The Magnificent Seven but there was also a cheesy sci-fi movie called Battle Beyond the Stars that was the same story. Then I watched A Bug's Life and realized that is another remake of the Seven Samurai as well. Of course the recent anime Samurai 7 was clearly inspired by the original.
Does anyone know of any other remakes of this movie?
(we could get into the whole Star Wars / Kurosawa movie discussion as well if you wanted to).
