I'd say Yojimbo, it's easy to understand yet a VERY great movie. Possibly Kurosawa's best.
shareMy favorite is actually Yojimbo too, but if you had to go in a particular order, I would suggest
Seven Samurai - his standard bearer
Rashoman - his iconic masterpiece
Yojimbo - his fun classic
Hidden Fortress - dont forget this one, its he's most purely enjoyable one in my opinion
Ikiru - stepping out of his comfort zone
Throne of Blood
Kagemusha
Ran - its actually one of his best, but see it last to get perspective of his career
And if that didnt quench your thirst, put in High And Low to break it up.

Seven Samurai is first. Get "Stray dog' to see how fabulous modern Kurosawa can be.
shareFor someone new to Kurosawa, I would say Yojimbo, then Seven Samurai, then Sanjuro. Yojimbo not only has Mifune and Kurosawa, it is also a hilarious movie. Mifune really shows his comedic side in it.
That is my order of "fun" for his movies. I would not suggest starting with Throne of Blood if you are new to Kurosawa. Get some others under your belt first then you can really enjoy this one.
