The Samurai Trilogy is really good. Toshiro Mifune for me is the best samurai. These movies are not a collection of action scenes like you'd probobly get in a movie like this nowadays. Its more about an inner journey that the character Musashi takes. As a trilogy of films I think this just as good as some of the other famous film trilogies. Not say its better but saying its one people should watch. Plus its great finding good samurai movies from the 50's that are not just Kurosawa. There seemed to have been a lot of directors making similar films during the 50's and 60's that get overlooked such as "Sword of Doom" and "Hara Kari" which I highly reccomend if you haven't seen them. I do need to see "Samurai Rebellion" though. Probobly see that soon.
