Dont get that luxury here in the Uk. Tv here is pretty rubbish compared with some countries. Thank god for sky and virgin. But even these repeat films on a weekly basis. programs here revolve around families and kids, cooking and gardening. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I have seen a few of the recent movies like When the Last Sword is Drawn, Hidden Blade but I was disappointed by the lack of action. A lot of Japanese Samurai movies feature a lot of sitting around and talking.

Can anyone recommend a good action Samurai movie I could watch?

Many thanks.

Anything by Akira Kurosawa, he is arguably the best Japanese director in History. You can watch a bunch of his films online, I've got a link on my blog about some of his movies, but honestly it's almost impossible to pick one, they are all just so good.

I have found a like'n to "Shinobi-Heart Under Blade" and I know it's not totally samuri, but I like the movie "The Promise" by Chen Kaige

Samurai X, Trust & Betrayal.

I like that movie heaps. It is anime, but I am not a big anime fan. Even if you not like anime much, if you like Samurai then you will like this movie. It is mature and in depth. I recomend it most.

i agree with u tenchu-san...Samurai X - Trust and Betrayal is one of the best anime OAV on samurais...it's mature, serious, moving, great artwork and semi-historical as well...

My favorite Samurai movies are the Zatoichi and Kyoshiro Nemuri series from the '60s but there are many good ones from that era.
