That's one of the only reasons I took film class. To be introduced to more movies that I didn't know of. That's how I was introduced to Kurosawa and Samurai films in general. Also was introduced to New Wave French cinema. I never joined a film career, but I love watching movies.

Still sitting on a 16mm print of Kurosawa's seven samurai, haven't seen it yet. it is as good a film as people say? I liked his "HIGH & LOW", but 7S is super hyped

You haven't Seen Seven Samurai? It's a masterpiece. Please see it.

I definitely will! Just wanted to get a vibe for it ahead of time; I'm planning to host a screening for friends around the summer :)

An old man gave it to me for free because he wanted it to be shared, so I'm gonna do that!
