My first three viewings of seven samurai ended falling asleep @ the 30 minute mark. 4th attempt I made it through. First 40 minutes or so were still intolerable. Wish it could have been in color, because I'd imagine the forest and flower scenes would have been beautiful. One shot, the camera basically climbs the hill with one of the samurai, which I found fascinating, made back then. I'd imagine this film is so important bc was the first of its kind (like you all said).
Star Wars..... Rusty, give the mandalorian a shot. The original trilogy is special. Mandalorian is very very good. The rest of the star wars world so far is garbage, with the possible exception of clone wars, depending on who you ask. Mandalorian season 2, episode title 'the jedi' is the best hour of star wars outside of a new hope and empire strikes back.
