If you ask film buffs which is Akira Kurosawa's greatest film, most would say Seven Samurai. However, if you ask them which is Kurosawa's most popular film, they would point to Yojimbo, a 1961 film that gave a new definition to the samurai film genre. This entry discusses the Kurosawa film and its two remakes, one of which became a classic in its own right.

My favorite Kurosawa films are Kagemusha and Dersu Usala

Anyone seen the following?

Sansho the Bailiff

Both are very good.
