Bite-Sized Yakuza Chunks: Suzujki, Fukasaku & Kitano
Yakuza films started out as morality plays where the protagonist's ninkyo, their honor, was a greater stake than their life. This genre paradigm would see some radical shifts brought about by these three auteurs. Seijen Suzuki's irreverence, Kinji Fukasaku's politically loaded disdain for hypocrisy and Takeshi Kitano's post-modern, arthouse approaches advanced new mutations in the Japanese gangster film - so lets watch 'em.

Lots to look forward to with this one cast-wise: Jim Brown, Warren Oates, Ernest Borgnine, Donald Sutherland, etc.

Rio Conchos
Two Army officers travel to Mexico on a secret mission to prevent an insane ex-Confederate colonel from selling a cache of stolen rifles to a band of murderous Apaches.
Jim Brown doesn't get top billing, he doesn't even get the most screen-time, but it's a solid, brutal western well worth checking out.
