<p>As of July 14, 2026. Curated by <a href="https://boxd.it/nJgb" rel="nofollow">halfoun</a>. This list ranks narrative feature films in the samurai genre by average member rating.</p><blockquote><p><b><i>Changes from the latest update:</i></b><br /><b>In:</b><br /><a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/samaritan-zatoichi/" rel="nofollow">Samaritan Zatoichi</a> (#100)</p><p><b>Out:</b><br /><a href="https://letterboxd.com/film/devils-temple/" rel="nofollow">Devil’s Temple</a> (#99)</p></blockquote><p><b>Eligibility rules:</b><br />• There is a 200 minimum ratings threshold.<br />• Samurai films, also called chanbara (チャンバラ), are a subgenre of jidaigeki (時代劇), which are period pieces set in Japan. These stories usually have samurai or rōnin as main characters, and often feature sword fighting. Samurai (侍) were skilled warriors who served as retainers for lords, while rōnin (浪人) were samurai who had no lord or master.<br />• Films must be feature-length (more than 40 minutes long) with a festival premiere, theatrical distribution or professional streaming release.<br />• This list excludes: documentaries of any kind, self-released web videos, recap or recut films, theatre or stage shows, TV series or TV movies, specials or episodes.</p><p><b><a href="https://boxd.it/2l6d" rel="nofollow">Official List HQ Directory</a></b> | <a href="https://letterboxd.com/official/tag/subgenre/lists/" rel="nofollow">Subgenre Lists</a> | <a href="https://letterboxd.com/official/tag/halfoun/lists/" rel="nofollow">Lists by halfoun</a></p>

I started off by gathering ratings from IMDB (User/Critic Average), Rotten Tomatoes (Tomatometer, Critic Average, Audience Score, User Average), Metacritic (Critic Average, User Average) and Letterboxd (User Average). I was then able to determine a rating (out of 10) for each individual rating and therefore come up with an average rating for each site. Each site’s average rating was then weighted fairly so that no site’s ratings were favored above the rest.
The next step was to make sure that each film was treated fairly. Other top movie list’s like IMDb’s Top 1000 removes films that have under a certain viewing number (25,000 I think), but rather than ruling out films that may have been overlooked by the general audience (especially older films), I opted to alter these films score by carefully deducting points depending on how many people have seen it, and therefore voted on it. I also thought it was needed to make sure that recent films (released within the past 36 months) were also not favored, as it usually takes 3 years for the average rating to settle down. So I also added a deduction to these films that fell under this rule.

Historically, the genre is usually set during the Tokugawa era (1600–1868), the samurai film focuses on the end of an entire way of life for the samurai, many of the films deal with masterless ronin, or samurai dealing with changes to their status resulting from a changing society. In this list we count down the best of the best, that cover over a 50 year span of cinema.

/u/StopReadinMyUsername on reddit created a list called "1001 'GREATEST' MOVIES OF ALL TIME" in 2015.
Since this list is still very popular, he posted an updated list on reddit in April 2020.
For this list he combined the average scores from IMDb, Letterboxd, Rotten Tomatoes & Metacritic, and tweaked the results with data from Letterboxd, iCheckMovies, TSPDT?, TMDb and IMDb.

<p>Films that may not be connected through continuity, but still feel like three-act variations on a theme... a la The “Three Colors” Trilogy (or the “Three Colors Cornetto” Trilogy). A continuous work in progress. Includes both unofficial and “officially unofficial” trilogies.</p><p>(Unless otherwise noted, no particular viewing order is recommended. Suggestions on additional entries are also welcome. Blank-imaged films are being used as spacers and aren’t meant to be part of the trilogy)</p><p>.</p>

> The J-Film Pow-Wow has been going for nearly four years now and during that time we've reported on the annual Top Ten lists put out by various online and print sources and Chris, Bob, Marc, Matt and Eric have spent our fair share of time scouring and critiquing other people's Top 100 lists of Japanese films. It got to the point where we thought we'd put ourselves out there with our own list, something beyond our monthly Top Ten lists. With that in mind we pooled our collective movie-going experiences and have come up with the J-Film Pow-Wow's own Top 100 Japanese Films list.
>
> Now, before you read on you should keep something in mind. This list was tabulated by all five of the Pow-Wow crew making lists of their own favorite Japanese films - not films we felt were historically important and not films that parroted other lists that have created the present canon of Japanese cinema. Our main concern was to come up with films that we held a real heartfelt love for. Once we drew up our lists we ranked them, assigned a points system and cross referenced all five to come up with this Top 100 list. There are some obvious picks ranking in obvious positions, there are some critically-favoured films in the Japanese film canon that didn't fare as well, and there are a lot of surprises. Those are the films on the list we're all most excited about.

Probably only the first 160-170 or so are recommended, the rest are only for completists. </p><p>---------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p><b>Quora - World History - War</b></p><p>Q: What was the most brutal military tactic in history?</p><p>A: Leave your enemy a way to escape.</p><p>Human beings aren’t so different from the many types of creatures that roam the planet. One of the universal traits shared by so many species is this: Fight or flight or freeze.</p><p>In a situation that presents danger, living creatures will perform one of these actions. Fight, meaning we leap into action and confrontation. Flight, meaning we try to remove ourselves from the danger. Freeze, where we are facing an unfamiliar situation and do nothing.</p><p>As the last several thousand years of recorded history has shown, humans have yet to grow beyond these basic instincts. It’s a part of who we are.</p><p><br /><b>Napoleon’s Folly</b></p><p>It was the year 1812. Napoleon had just realized he couldn’t conquer Russia. Napoleon’s campaign to dominate the largest European kingdom had ground to a halt. He could win on the battlefield, but an extended conflict would ultimately accomplish nothing. The Russians refused to surrender, even when their own capital had been seized and the Tsar had fled. Facing an impossible situation, Napoleon ordered a withdrawal.</p><p>Now the Russians could have counterattacked, encircled Napoleon and tried to capture him with their superior numbers and knowledge of the land. What they did was worse. They let the French walk back the way they came.<br />The French army marched back through lands they had already conquered. These areas had been picked clean of food. In their places was less than nothing. Napoleon’s grand army, the largest on Earth at that time, was cut off from supplies. This was literally as the Russian winter was beginning.</p><p>But they could still escape. The Russians were only behind them. So they started walking back.</p><p>All the while, the Russians bled them with raids. Mounted horsemen, Irregular militias. Pin prick attacks from a thousand directions. But never a concentrated military attack. The Russians kept bleeding the French. Bit by bit by bit.</p><p>The French couldn’t turn around and retaliate. The invasion had failed and now all they wanted to do was go home. They thought they would be safe if they just kept walking west. And they kept getting more and more hungry. The weather became worse and worse.</p><p>This is when the Grand Army began to break down. Deserters abandoned the army in droves. Their equipment was insufficient for fighting in winter and broke down in unrelenting cold. And the Russians kept circling their flanks. Never surrounding them. Never stopping them from retreating.</p><p>So the French kept walking west. There was still a chance they probably thought. If they endured a few more days, a few more hundred miles, they could make it. They kept weakening themselves. Structure and order were undone as desperation infected the French ranks. They lost whatever advantage they may have had fighting the Russians directly and weakness began to suffocate them. Hunger, disease and deprivation on a massive scale.</p><p>The retreat from Russia lasted from October to December of 1812. By the time the Grand Army had entered friendly territory, they had been reduced to barely 20,000 emaciated survivors.</p><p>And that’s how you destroy an army of 700,000 men. You give them hope of escape.</p><p>- Donovan Walls<br />Quora - World History</p>

> The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF, stylized as tiff) is one of the largest publicly attended film festivals in the world, attracting over 480,000 people annually.
>
> Founded in 1976, TIFF is now one of the most prestigious events of its kind in the world. In 1998, Variety magazine acknowledged that TIFF "is second only to Cannes in terms of high-profile pics, stars and market activity". In 2007, TIME noted that TIFF had "grown from its place as the most influential fall film festival to the most influential film festival, period". This is partially the result of TIFF's ability and reputation for generating "Oscar buzz".
>
> The festival's People's Choice Award—which is based on audience balloting—has emerged as an indicator of awards-season success. Past recipients of this audience accolade include Room, The Imitation Game, 12 Years a Slave, The King's Speech, Slumdog Millionaire, Silver Linings Playbook, and La La Land.
>
> The following is a complete list of all feature-length films shown at the Toronto International Film Festival since 1976. Notes indicate the year the film was shown and if it was awarded a prize.
