Akira Kurosawa movies ARE GOOD (one of Japan's greatest directors)
These are my favorites:
The Seven Samurai
Rashomon
Ran
Throne of Blood
Kagemusha:The Shadow
Yojimbo
Sanjuro

The mother of all Samurai films tho has to be the Lone Wolf & Cub series about Ogami Itto the Shogun's executioner who is disgraced by false accusations and is banned from the kingdom and forced to take the path of an Assassin, he takes his son Daigoro (Cub) on his journeys.
There were six movies in all....They are :>>>
Lone Wolf and Cub: Sword of Vengeance
Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart at the River Styx
Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades
Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in Peril
Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in the Land of Demons
