The Seven Samurai, Kurosawa
This is possibly the defining film of its genera; if you’re into celluloid and haven't seen this film you desperately need to go out and do it. Akira Kurosawa’s direction is a masterpiece in subtlety that stands out, especially amongst the over acting and flashy affects that plague too many films today as a substitute for good story telling. It tells the story of a small village which is beset by bandits and was later reworked as the lesser, but still watchable magnificent seven. They hire seven Ronin samurai to defend them, and well if you want to know what happens you need to watch it. Suffice it to say that this is a very watchable film, despite the subtitles which fade into the background due to the excellent direction, acting, and storytelling. I’m dyslexic and generally find subtitled films very difficult to watch, but had no problem watching this, and will re watch it over and over again as it really does deserve to be seen more than once. This is an absolutely classic film, with pace and action equal to anything that has been made since, and a lot better than most of the Hollywood blockbusters. If you are a film buff, then you really need this in your collection.

A good working lens at a reasonable price, fast, and silent. Recomended
I bought this for brand new Canon 5D Mk III, the accepted wisdom was to get a Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 F4 L IS USM. After all it is the lens that comes with the camera kit and [something that I didn't know] it has a constant F/4 aperture throughout the focal length which works with the AF system. I wanted the extra reach that the 135mm lens would give me [and the cheaper price]. 30mm, I grant you, but 30mm is 30mm, but it turns out that the F/4 part is really important for the AF of the 5D Mk III. That aside I don't regret the purchase of the 28-135mm lens. It still fits the AF neatly, and the USM is fast and accurate. The IS cool too. It takes a while to get used to any new lens, and it has taken me a while to grow into this one, but I think I have, and I'm not disappointed.

Excelent
Great lens that gives great results. The fact that it's both a zoom and a macro only adds to it's value :)
