I'd rather watch Yojimbo or Sound of Music any day.

Agreed, sad to see it in second to last place.

Yojimbo doesn't get talked about enough.

Yes, it's one of my favorites. Most know it as the movie Sergio Leone knocked off for his Fistful of Dollars western. I was surprised to find out that Kurosawa's inspiration of Yojimbo is a Dashiell Hammett novel. Hammett is one of my favorite noir writers.

Definitely shocking that 8 1/2 seems to be bowing out in the first round!
