Have you noticed that some westerns have the same plot lines as Akira Kurosawa films. For example: Yojimbo to A Fistful of Dollars and The Magnificent Seven to Seven Samurai. Are there any others?

I hate to break this to you but the Kurosawa films WERE the basis of the Western remakes. The plot lines are similar because they have the same source material...
