I was as horrified to see someone want a colorized version of a black and white masterpeice. Such blasfamy. Color adds nothing to movies, cept in casses like hero and flying daggers. I tend to perfer black and whites myself.
A fistfull of dollars is a remake of yojimbo.
I cant pick a fav because the are all so damn good, seven samurai was the first one I saw so I guess Im partial to it.
Lucas himself addmitted that the use of the peasants view point to tell hidden fortress was the main influence on star wars cause the movies are told from the droids view point. He said that all other similarities are coincidence but I dont fully believe him, though he did make a good point of how someone said there are only 32 plots that are remade over and over.
If anyone wants to buy any Kurosawa films buy the criterion dvds, its the only way to see them as they should be.
