Also, the Last Samurai. It had everything that I look for in a trailer, and it's always a treat to get a high quality samurai movie that is in english. Ken Wantanabe just elevated this movie beyond reason, and an amazing supporting cast top to bottom. Cruise actually acted, which he is capable of. That movie is still great, in my estimation.
Man, Last Samurai is one of my all time faves. I love renaissance Japanese culture, had massive expectations, and just came out so much more satisfied than i thought i would. I saw it twice in theatres, and watched several more the past years streaming/tv
