Re: The Intermission - 005 - The Classics
I love High and Low, but I think I'd go with Seven Samurai to represent Kurosawa.

The Hidden Fortress is probably my favourite of the Kurosawa films I have seen (which admittedly, is not that many).

Re: The Intermission - 005 - The Classics
I love both Seven Samurai and Hidden Fortress, as well as Sanjuro and Red Beard, and Ran and Kagemusha. To a certain extent though, I feel that High and Low might be more amenable to folks than the historical pictures which is why I always try to list it first when recommending Kurosawa. Some of the folks I run into (my parents regretably among them) tend to think samurai = chopsocky kung fu, so they don't really embrace the idea of watching Seven Samurai.

Throne of Blood could be introduction to Kurosawa seeing as most people are familiar with the subject matter (it's based on Macbeth for those who don't know).

Yeah but it's also weird as shit.

Best intro Kurosawa I'd actually say is Rashomon.

Yojimbo is so much of a Western, though, and has lots of humor. Naturally, it will depend on who you're introducing and why.
