	kenstachnik's Rating	My Rating
1	Rashômon (Rashomon) (In the Woods) (1950,  Unrated) I'm 26 and I just saw this for the first time. I lost my virginity at 17. If I could switch the two I would.
2	The Seven Samurai (Shichinin no Samurai) (1954,  Unrated)
3	Throne of Blood (1957,  Unrated)
4	The Hidden Fortress (1958,  Unrated) Mifune is gold, all the characters are great! An inspiration for Star Wars.
5	Ran (2000,  R) This retelling of King Lear is a cornucopia of lush colors and textures. From the Kabuki theatrics to the immense & bloody battles, Ran delivers on all cylinders. Kurosawa's deep appreciation of John Ford can be seen through out this film. His use of master shots and landscapes allows the viewer to actually understand the tactics being used in the battles. A refreshing change from the "everything's a closeup" phase current cinema seems to be in
6	Kagemusha (1980,  PG)
7	Yojimbo (1961,  Unrated)
8	Sanjuro (1962,  PG-13)
9	Samurai Spy (1965,  Unrated)
10	The Sword of Doom (1966,  Unrated) Ryunosuke Tatsue would f@*k Anton Chigurh in prison. This movie is amazingly bad ass. The camera work i's like the love child of Kurosawa and Leone, simply incredible. A must see
11	Samurai Rebellion (1967,  Unrated)
12	Kill! (1968,  Unrated) My favorite non Kurusawa Samurai film
13	Ghost Dog - The Way of the Samurai (2000,  R) See mjgildea's review. It says everything I don't need too.
14	Samurai I (,  Unrated)
15	Zoku Miyamoto Musashi: Ichijôji no Kettô (Samurai II: Duel at Ichijoji Temple) (Swords of Doom) (1955,  Unrated) Beautiful colors, dull story
16	Miyamoto Musashi Kanketsuhen: Kettô Ganryûjima (Samurai III: Duel on Ganryu Island) (Bushido) (1956,  Unrated)
17	The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi (2003,  R) This movie is a fried slice of gold. Asano transcends badassery
18	The Last Samurai (2003) (2003,  R)
19	Samurai Jack - The Premiere Movie (2003,  Unrated)
20	Samurai Assassin (1965,  Unrated) Not as good as Sword of Doom, but still a beautifully directed picture. It's a little slow at times and a little hard to follow at others. Worth seeing just for the badass snow covered final battle.
21	Samurai Fiction (1998,  Unrated)
22	Blood of the Samurai (2001,  Unrated)
23	The Twilight Samurai (2002,  Unrated)
24	Samurai Cowboy (1993,  Unrated)
25	Six-String Samurai (1998,  PG-13)
26	Samurai Girl (,  Unrated)
27	Samurai Cop (1989,  Unrated)
28	American Samurai (1992,  R)
29	Black Samurai (The Freeze Bomb) (Black Terminator) (1977,  R)
30	Goyôkiba: Kamisori Hanzô jigoku zeme (Hanzo the Razor 2: The Snare) (1973,  Unrated)
31	Sengoku jieitai 1549 (Samurai Commando Mission 1549) (2005,  Unrated)
32	Shogun's Samurai - The Yagyu Clan Conspiracy (1984,  Unrated)
33	Dokuritsu Shôjo Gurentai (Samurai Chicks) (2004,  Unrated)
34	Sengoku jieitai (G.I. Samurai) (Time Slip) (1981,  Unrated)
35	Furin kazan (Samurai Banners) (Wind-Fire-Forest-Mountain) (1969,  Unrated)
36	Aru kengo no shogai (Samurai Saga) (Life of an Expert Swordsman) (1959,  Unrated)
37	Zatoichi Meets Yojimbo (1970,  Unrated)
38	Zatoichi (1989,  Unrated)
