13 Assassins.

Should have been named 13 Samurai instead. It's a remake of a 1963 film by the same name. Standard tale of a bunch of fighter types going out doing the good deal similar to Seven Samurai. It's rather violent. The big battle scene had to have run 30-45 minutes. I had to hit up wikipedia for one minor plot point that gets explained better there. It seems kind of thrown in though. There are subtitles. Still, it was rather good.

I see Roxanne is available as well. I think it gets lost in my list of great romantic comedies, so I wanted to watch it again and was just waiting for it to pop back up in my Instant queue.
