Highly Recommended The Movie: It's beyond a doubt that Dog Day Afternoon is a timeless masterpiece that revolutionized the bank robbery genre and is one of the most important works of 70s American cinema, thought by many, myself included, to be the greatest period in film history.

Despite its reputation among Spaghetti Western buffs, I found the picture less interesting than three of the other titles in the set ( A Bullet for the General , Four of the Apocalypse , and Keoma ).
Recommended The Movie: Set in a Japan recently ravaged by a powerful Tsunami, Sion Sono's 2011 picture Himizu takes place in a country that has essentially lost a war, not with another country, but with mother nature.
