Going to see Rashomon at the Stanford Theater tonight. Whenever I see a Kurosawa film starring Toshiro Mifune I become a little obsessed. This could be a regular segment on "Zombies are Magic": Dead guys I love. Here is a partial list:- Klaus Kinski (duh)
- Toshiro Mifune
- Colin Clive
- Joseph Cotton
- Gregory Peck
- Bogart
- Karloff
- Lon Chaney (Sr and Jr)
- David Naughton (he's still alive!! I saw him last night on Big Love!)
- Ivor Novello
Mifune was awesome in Rashomon, which by the way is my favorite of the Kurosawa's that Ive seen so far.
ReplyDeleteI also recommend Akiro Kurosawa's Dreams if you havent checked it out already. Its made up of a bunch of beautifully directed and shot short films.
