What’s funny is really a matter of personal taste, and it’s hard to top the classic 1974 film Blazing Saddles.

Created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy in 2016, the TV series Westworld is based on the Michael Crichton film of the same name. The show centers around a high-tech theme park where wealthy guests interact with lifelike robots. Over four seasons, Westworld pushed the boundaries of what HBO could achieve, though its story remained unfinished.
The show definitely diverged from the original comic books, so viewers probably shouldn’t have expected the finale to follow the source material exactly. Interestingly, an entirely different ending was filmed, but the show’s creators ultimately decided to go in another direction.

As a lifelong movie fan, I’ve seen a lot of incredible films over the past fifty years. And while there have been so many great ones, it’s surprisingly hard to find movies with truly amazing endings.

HBO’s Song of the Samurai, much like the story it’s based on, centers around Hijikata Toshizo, a famous leader of the Shinsengumi, a special police force from 1869.

In the first episode, his travels bring him to the Shieikan Dojo, where he’s taken on as a student by Kondo Isami. Kondo, Toshizo, and the others who come together will eventually form the Shinsengumi, but the show leaves viewers wondering what that will actually entail.

Most fighters would be defeated in his situation, but Hojo can escape and live to fight another day. While this might seem like weakness in other stories, in The Elusive Samurai, it makes him resourceful and clever. Tokiyuki is a young boy forced into a brutal war after experiencing terrible loss.
