1) Seven Samurai

Japan Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai is one of the landmark films, not only in the story itself but also in terms of technical values. Set in 16th-century Japan, this film is about a village that hires seven samurai to defend them against bandits. It inspired many films, including The Magnificent Seven and Star Wars. Kurosawa's dynamic use of weather, deep character development, and meticulously staged battle scenes revolutionized cinema.
