Howdy, Folks. Lurker no longer, feel great to contribute...in this order:

1. Kobayashi, Harakiri/Seppuku [Nakadai’s Best; Never more bloodier in B&W]

2. Koizumi, After The Rain (Ame Agaru) [Not actioner - but a meditation, Akira Terao-most humanistic samurai ever! Kurosawa script, Nakadai & Mifune’s son Shiro have small roles]

3. Kurosawa, Chaos (Ran) [His last true colorful epic; directed when he was near blind]

4. Gosha, Hunter In The Dark (Yami no karyudo) [Nakadai! Tamba! Chiba! Sexy & signature Gosha slow-boil]

5. Fujita, Lady Snowblood (Shurayukihime) [Lucy Liu cannot touch ‘Scorpion’ Meiko-chan!]

6. Sawashima, Band of Assassins (Shinsengumi) [underrated Mifune; same elite group as portrayed in Gohatto]

7. Inoue, Who's Got The Gold? (Last Hanzo) (Goyôkiba: Oni no Hanzô yawahada koban) [sit and spin!]

8. Kuroda, Baby Cart-White Heaven In Hell (Kozure Ôkami: Jigoku e ikuzo! Daigoro) [Yagyu clan showdown]

9. Yasuda, Zatoichi Meets His Equal (Shin Zatôichi: Yabure! Tojin-ken) [cross cultural antics w/Jimmy Wang Yu’s One Armed Swordsman!]

10.Misumi, Return of Diamajin (Diamajin Ikaru) [stone-face is back!]

Para-Chambaras

11. Fukusaku, The Fall Guy (Kamata koshin-kyoku) [fabulous samurai stuntmen comedy]

12. Young, Red Sun (Soleil Rouge) [Mifune! Bronson! Delon! Undress ‘er Andress! Yeah!]

Peace
