Shoji, The Hidden Blade is a beautiful movie from the 90's, I believe. One of my favorites. Also, by the same director, The Twilight Samurai is almost as good. I am sure the class would love to watch those. They are easy to find almost anywhere.

I recommend Dororo or Shimotsuma Monogatari.

Dororo is a good, recent movie.
"A female warrior (Shibasaki) who was raised as a man joins a young samurai's quest to recover his body parts from demons and restore his dad's natural form."

Shimotsuma Monogatari is a comedy I think people will like.

>david q.
yeah ive seen both movies.
twilight samurai was shown one time, so the hidden blade maybe a good one to show next semester.

>tony
dororo... ive heard the title, and my friend liked it.
i never heard shimokita monogatari, but it looks good on the site you gave me.

Another name for Shimotsuma Monogatari, I think, is Kamikaze Girls. It's a fairly popular movie, maybe you can find a copy at blockbuster. And I just ordered a copy Dororo earlier this weekend. So it might arrive before the week is over.

If you want them soon, I'll try burning the movies onto a DVD.

thank you tony.
i don't need the movie soon, but can you burn it on a cd anyway? whenever you have time. no rush.
thank you very much!
