Hulu is letting everyone stream 24 of Akira Kurosawa's Criterion Collection films for free this weekend.
If it's been awhile since you've seen "Yojimbo" or if you've been meaning to check out "The Hidden Fortress," carve out some time before these free videos expire Monday.
Here are the highlights from the list:
"Yojimbo" (1961)To rid a terror-stricken village of corruption, wily masterless samurai Sanjuro turns a range war beteween two evil clans to his own advantage. (Inspired "Fistful of Dollars" with Clint Eastwood)
"Seven Samurai" (1954)A 16th-century village of farmers hire a gaggle of warriors to protect them from a gang of bandits. (Inspired "The Magnificent Seven" with Yul Brynner)
"Rashomon" (1950)Four people recount different versions of the account of a man's murder and the assault of his wife. Genius creative storytelling.
"The Hidden Fortress" (1958)A general and princess from a vanquished clan smuggle the royal treasure out of hostile territory. Told from the perspective of two bumbling, conniving peasants. (Inspired "Star Wars: A New Hope")
Go to
Hulu.com for the full list of films and Criterion DVD extras streaming for free.
