Paste Magazine - The 50 Best Samurai Films of All Time

"It is with solemn bushido reverence that I invite you to join us as we dive into 50 films that exemplify this mightiest of genres. We've formed this list with a careful eye toward the classic jidaigeki (Age of Civil War period piece) and chambara (swordfighting) films that typify the genre in Japan, but also to some of the weird and subversive outliers that challenge audience expectations or the mythic idea of the samurai code." - Paste
