Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Roxanne. And what's the movie with Toshiro Mifune that's based on Hamlet or Lear or something?
Ran was a remake of King Lear.
And Throne of Blood was the Scottish play. Mifune was in Throne, but not in Ran.
Freeway was a modern day version of Little Red Riding Hood.
Ball of Fire was Billy Wilder's retelling of Snow White and The Seven Dwarves.
Speed was Die Hard on a bus.
What, it's a classic story.
Y'all rock!
Though I have a feeling I'm going to be told to chill with the Shakespeare (did I not mention this was for work?). MOPI was Henry IV.
Bridget Jones' Diary is more or less Pride and Prejudice.
Weekend at Bernie's was based a Shakespeare play.
(OK, I made that up.)
Totally forgot about O Brother.
