Members Captain Fathead Posted August 15, 2008 Members Share Posted August 15, 2008 Anything from Akira Kurusawa I just picked up the criterion of Seven Samurai for half price. Haven't watched it yet (I've seen the film, but the criterion is a beautiful print with ridiculous special features). So stoked. Rashomon (SP?) is the other really well known Kurosawa. All his stuff is good, but those two should be priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything I can find from the Criterion Collection is usually worth watching if only for the transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
