I'd have to say

1. Seven Samurai
2. Hidden Fortress
3. Yojimbo

3 is a close tie with Rashomon but Yojimbos just so damn cool!

WATCH "I WAS A TEENAGE ZOMBIE" Excellent B horror/comedy!

1. seven samurai
2. rashomon
3. yojimbo

this list fluctuates based on what is freshest in my mind. the man was a genius, so it's hard to
choose.

[–] tad58 17 years ago

True. I'd recommend 'High and Low' and 'The Bad Sleep Well' if you've not seen those, too.

sometimes i think that the dream is reality and life is the simulacrum.

Ran .. the most beautiful film ever made.

Seven Samurai ... the most exciting film ever made

Yojimbo ... one of the most entertaining films ever made

but I also love Sanjuro, Kagemusha and Throne of Blood.

But you ARE Blanche ... and I AM.

... oh, and I almost forgot Ikuru.

But you ARE Blanche ... and I AM.

Akahige and Seven Samurai closely follow.

[–] realistdreamer 15 years ago

I am happy to see quite a few people listing Ikiru in their top 3 or even number 1. I think it is a fabuolous movie and while I have only seen 6 or 7 Kurosawa's, I wish he had made some more contemporary movies.

My Kurosawa rankings with my overall ranking for them amongst all movies (with about 30% of list being non-english films) in brackets.

1. Ikuru (8)
2. Rashomon (22)
3. Seven Samurai (28)
4. Ran (82)
5. Yogimbo (172)
6. Throne of Blood (194)
7. Hidden Fortress (276)
