Eureka have only recently bought out a Shogun Assassin BD (which is stunning) so I can't see it coming out on Arrow
. Eureka have got the genre locked up!
I'd like to see:
Throne Of Blood: (although I guess this is a BFI one!)
The '
Zatoichi' series
Destiny's Son: by the guy that made Zatoichi
Samurai Rebellion: the best of Mifune's non-Kurosawa films
Tenchu/Hitokiri: Probably the best samurai film ever made, genre-defining.
Yojimbo/Sanjuro: Damn that BFI!
The
'Sleepy Eyes of Death' series: Some people claim they're better than LW&C! I've only ever seen the one, but there's about 12 I think!?
The Last Samurai: Probably the last great classic Samurai film from the man behind LW&C and a bunch of Zatoichi movies.
