What sort of mood would you be in for Seven Samurai? That often decides the evening more than a rating does.

Caoimhe, fair point. There is room for something a bit different in the next six.

Seven Samurai is one I am weighing up. Would love to hear a different take too. The interesting picks are often the ones people split on.

Sinead, a film-club style conversation afterwards could be good, even when people disagree.

For anyone considering Seven Samurai: The description has me curious. I would rather know the mood than the whole plot.
