[Orrex]

3. No--it was the other one with the samurai.

Thanks, though!

[Shakespeare]

5. I get it.

Nevermind. :eyes:

[Orrex]

6. .

Meant only jokingly as a dis on Kurosawa--I could just as easily have said "What was the name of the Bergman film set in medieval Sweden?"

:evilgrin:

[ghostsofgiants]

12. Bergman's best film is actually not set in medieval Sweden.

:P

[undeterred]

14. I love the film about Bergman's parents

He wrote it. I don't think he made it.

[Orrex]

15. Fannie and Alexander?

:shrug:

[ghostsofgiants]

18. Persona.

11. Oh yeah. That's one. It's on the tip of my

katana. :rofl:

[gmoney]

25. That's not how *I* remember it...

probably one of the best nuanced jokes ever on The Simpsons

[Orrex]

27. LOL! That joke too me a very long time to get

Possibly years, in fact. I heard the reference when the episode first aired but knew nothing of Roshomon until many months later. When I finally "got it," I laughed my ass off, even though no one else nearby had any idea of the context.

A fine joke!

[Orrex]

19. Why doesn't anyone talk about how he totally ripped off Shakespeare?

Like we weren't supposed to notice or something?!?

[derby378]

20. Because Kurosawa ADMITTED it, perhaps?

It's still a damn good movie.

[Orrex]

21. Holy moley. Did everyone check their sarcasm detector before clicking on this thread?!?

Hello? Is this thing on?!?

:banghead:

[cemaphonic]

22. What, no Yojimbo yet?

That's my fav.

24. The Hidden Fortress?

That kind of reminds me that I haven't watched Samuri Saturdays on IFC for a while. Love those movies.

[Paladin]

26. "Throne of Blood"? (n/t)
