Samurai DVDs are probably the best (and usually only) way to see Samurai Films these days. Not many Samurai movies make it to the big screen here in the West, but thankfully, modern technology is able to bring the classics into the comfort of our own homes.
With big name talent like Akira Kurosawa, Toshiro Mifune, and the character Zatoichi, we are able to experience this Japanese genre like never before. Most Samurai DVDs have been re-mastered in some fashion, thus preserving these great classics for another generation. And these aren't just the old black and white films of yesteryear; there are many fresh and new takes on the Samurai genre like
Samurai Fiction, or
Twilight Samurai.
I hope you enjoy these Samurai DVDs as much as I do. I've hand picked them all, and each one should be Region 1 encoded for viewing in America and Canada. Have fun!
