Right now we have 31 films with at least two votes, I'm hoping for at least one more voter so I'll leave this open until the end of the day. Seven voters can work, but I would much prefer at least 8.

For those who voted for a Fistful of Dollars, you should really check out Yojimbo, its the film Leone stole when he made A Fistful of Dollars and it really is a far superior film.
I've been meaning to, that and Seven Samurai (which Magnificent Seven took inspiration from). My roommate has Seven Samurai on Criterion Blu-Ray (we've been waiting to have a double feature with that and the Yul Brynner film), while Yojimbo used to be on instant watch, but I was too late getting to it.

Well Alberto, you can currently watch something like 23 different Kurosawa films on Hulu plus along with another 540 or so Criterion films. And you get a month free with a .edu email.
