Bah, I still don't understand what's the big deal about The 7 Samurai. In fact, I'm not sure I even like Kurosawa movies.....

Btw, I call shenanigans on The Ring being up there and not Ju-on. Ju-on is 100x better than The Ring.

Both of these should be listed because of the effect they had. Ju-On was great, but there wouldn't be a Ju-On if not for Ring.

And Seven Samurai is pretty widely regarded as one of the best movies of all time, so...

The Ring isn't even scary enough!! Ooooh dead girl in a well. I'm so scurred.

Apparently a lot of times "best movies of all time" also equal "most ****ing boring movies of all time." :P

I don't want to invest in that movie because I know a bunch of them die. So if you want me to sit there and bitch at you for hours about how my fav character died and the one that I hated the most didn't get shot in the face, then by all means so me that movie.


Plus, do you realize that there's SEVEN dudes at least that I'd have to keep track off??? I have a hard enough time with just two japanese guys on the screen!

I would try making my own list but I can't think of any movies right now. Except for Realm of the Senses - for the penis lopping. :D

I'M not the one saying you should watch it. I'm just saying you're criticizing it without having seen it. :P

I've seen parts of it .

Slow and too many people that look alike in it and a bunch of them die.

Ok I know. Ichi should be on my list. The blind female one, not the hedgehog looking one.

Btw, her character was actually blind in that movie, unlike some other girl I know that was ****ing FAKING IT. :D
