This Movie always crushes me. Based on a short story by Wm. Faulkner. Robert Duvall is incredible.
6
Akahige (Red Beard) 1965,  Unrated)

Dead Man 1995,  R)

Possibly the first Black Comedy/Western? Jarmush's unique talent shines through the stark Black and White medium
8
Chushingura 1962,  Unrated)
Chushingura
Classic Japanese historical drama of greed, betrayal, and revenge. The first part especially is pure cinematic eye candy. Who could ask for more??

This is by far the best of the modern Samurai movies that I have seen. Superb acting and directing, winning best actor, best supporting, and best director. I highly recommend to anyone who likes a great samurai flick

Kagemusha (Shadow Warrior) (The Double)
Kurosawa meditates on the nature of Power, Illusion and Reality with deft strokes of his painters brush. Power-house performance from Nadakai! This movie was produced by George Lucas and Frances Ford Coppola.

Harvey Keitel is great in this study of honor set in nineteenth century Europe. Keith Carradine generally irritates me, but does a passing job here. Ridley Scott's first major.
