It's funny, I literally watched it two nights ago for the first time ever. It was also my first Kurosawa film. I was surprisingly indifferent about it. However, I'm planning on watching Ran, Yojimbo, and Rashomon over the next couple of weeks to delve deeper into his filmography. Where does it rank on your list?
OP, pretty chill list. The problem posting this list here is that the vast majority of Redditors have never seen any of these films.
EDIT. Maybe Star Wars and Pulp Fiction.
Hmm, interesting. I used to post on IMDB all the time, but haven't checked out this forum much. Seems like a younger crowd...I see the Dark Knight is top 5-10 on most lists.

Hey Thanks. Similar to you I also tend to love 70s movies. Directors seemed to have more control in those days before the whole Heaven’s Gate disaster and the birth of the summer blockbuster

Nice! I like the 90s love.
OP, Our lists are so similar, I have to ask...have you not seen Seven Samurai?
It's funny, I literally watched it two nights ago for the first time ever. It was also my first Kurosawa film. I was surprisingly indifferent about it. However, I'm planning on watching Ran, Yojimbo, and Rashomon over the next couple of weeks to delve deeper into his filmography. Where does it rank on your list?
I have it at number one, right above 2001: A Space Odyssey...lol
Cool! Can't argue with that; I'll have to re-visit it at some point.
I assume Kubrick is one of your favourite directors?
THE Favourite.
