It's not really a Christmas tradition, but it ought to be.

Sergio Leone forever!

Seriously though, check out Yojimbo if you get the chance.

It's worth a watch- Kurosawa sued Leone for ripping him off.

Yeah, although that is not a guarantee that the original is better. The history of the arts is a constant cycle of recycled plots and themes. Sometimes a recycle is derivative crap; other times it surpasses the original.

Much as I love Clint, he's nowhere near the actor Mifune was. And Leone has nothing on Kurosawa.
