Watch - Yojimbo
I've always been a huge Clint Eastwood fan. The Man With No Name made a huge impression on me as a kid - A Fistful of Dollars showed me that there were different definitions of a hero. I was embarrassed and delighted when I found out that it was a remake ( a direct copy) of Yojimbo, staring Toshiro Mifune, and directed by Akira Kurosawa one of the greatest directors of all time. This movie is certainly dated but it is fascinating to watch the similarities and differences between it and A Fistful of Dollars - and between Mifune, who puts in an amazing performance that would stand up today, and Eastwood, both masters of subtlety and menace It is a great movie and well worth your time.
