Yojimbo (Yôjinbô) Sunday, August 10, 2025 5 p.m.-7 p.m.
Toshiro Mifune again stars in the visually stunning and darkly comic Yojimbo. To rid a terror-stricken village of corruption, wily, masterless samurai Sanjuro (Mifune) turns a range war between two evil clans to his own advantage. Remade twice, by Sergio Leone and Walter Hill, this exhilarating genre-twister remains one of the most influential and entertaining films of all time.
