Also try the Samurai Trilogy ("Samurai I, II, and III")--the Gone With The Wind of Japan, a romanticized samurai epic based on a real master swordsman.

"Yojimbo" and "Sanjuro" are classics. "Sword of Doom" is bizarre and fatalistic. "Chushingura" is the archetype revenge saga for Japanese qualities of honor, loyalty, and persistence.

More populist entertainments include the serial films featuring "Zato Ichi" (the blind swordsman), "Nemuri Kyoshiro" (son of the black mass), and "Lone Wolf with Child" (the baby cart movies).
