Watched the Last Samurai, was pretty decent I guess. Kurosawa is the guy who made Seven Samurai, right?

Anything by Kurosawa can't get wrong with that.

Ran

This one too

Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai


Rurôni Kenshin if you want some action


13 Assassins


The Twilight Samurai pretty good samurai drama


Kagemusha
>>
13 assassins (2010, Miike) is good fun. Kinda slow build but the climax is excellent.

Yeah, great movie!

I have the extended version (which is Japanese language only), but can't find any subtitles for it yet.

Sucks because the extended version has extended battle scenes.

This. It's quite recent so it's good entry level to ease you into things before you dive into Yojimbo and the like.
>>
>>69618587
Jet Li's Fearless

Not only are the action scenes some of the best in cinematic history but the story is genuinely compelling as well.

Hero is also good if you can stomach some over the top wuxia
>>
I watched Sword of Doom recently and it's pretty cool, it portrays a samurai who instead of being honorable is a psycho motherfucker who doesn't gives a shit and kills everything in his way.
Lady Snowblood it's pretty good too if you're don't mind a more B movie approach.
>>
>>69621407
Sure, B Movies are great. I'l try that!
I'm less into psycho motherfuckers but I'll give Sword of Doom a shot as well
