The story of [ 1 ] the seven samurai [ 2 ] the 47 ronin the 21 Sihks defending a fort.
It's not too over-the-top Bollywood, so it's a perfectly watchable "yay us" hero story.
Based on actual events.

47 samurai are exiled when their master is framed, and vow revenge against those responsible.
A decent enough movie; watchable and forgettable.
Based on the story of the forty-seven rōnin. Kinda.

A man's son's older self goes back in time to kidnap himself.
It's not great or anything, but it's obscure enough that I'm glad to have bought it.

A man struggles with a split personality disorder, turning to an unlikely group of young women for counseling. Haha, just kidding it's a kidnapping-horror movie.
Amazing acting, good writing, good all around. It's contained, straightforward and engaging. It was assembled well enough that I didn't take many notes.

A government assassin learns he has been cloned by a rogue lab bent on raising an army of perfect soldiers.
A fair movie. It brings nothing new or interesting, and has generally uninspired writing and action. Thinking back on it, it does seem derivative of so many other movies.

A boy is abused, gets hit on the head, is institutionalized and has a daydream.
Raises the bar for acting with this character. A good movie, but definitely not traditional. Riveting without a particularly obvious thread. It could have been a whole lot better, but it would have needed to delve into the true and far darker roots of the main character; his mother, and you can't do that because she's a woman.
After watching this movie I just realized I didn't see the earlier one. Whoops.

A military man of small renown and great skill is swept up into a conflict that engulfs his nation in war, driving a wedge between himself, his people and his love.
A movie the likes of which I've never seen and doubt I ever will again.
Based on The Deluge - (1886 book), by Henryk Sienkiewicz

A police officer almost dies in the course of duty, but is converted into a cyborg.
When it came out I was given the impression that it would be bad, especially compared to the original, but it was fair. Not good, but fair.
A remake of RoboCop - (1987 movie)

A great and gritty movie.
