to me kill bill is one of the best samurai films hands down, i was in highschool when it came out, and skipped class just to go watch it, and i loved it and it's the reason i saw all those other samurai films. ut on the other hand, seeing it the other day, it is just a great swordsman revenge movie, it has the sagely master, the massive group battle, the one on one finale etc. perfect movie i think

Seven samurai was so amazing.
I have it taped on some blank VHS tape, along with my bootleg Jackie chan VHS compilations.
