Yojimbo (1961)
Before Sergio gave us A Fistful of Dollars, Akira Kurosawa gave us Yojimbo. It is a stunnigly well-shot, explosively entertaining, smashingly witty samurai, and it's blatant that Leone made this ambitious piece the skeleton for some of his western craftsmanship.
I'm recommending this to V, 'cause I think you'd totally dig this.
