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

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...

Last night I was watching a movie called Zatoichi I really liked it. But it was in Spanish....

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

Well you should watch Zatoichi or Lone Wolf and cub, yojimbo, watch some of sonny chibas movies. The best Zatoichi movie is the last of the whole series http://www.japanforum.com/forum/images/smilies/cool.gif
