1. Ikiru - A (#1 all-time)
2. Rashomon - A
3. Ran - A
4. Yojimbo - A
5. Madadayo - A (criminally underseen and underrated, as good as his classics)
6. Stray Dog - A
7. Red Beard - A
8. Throne Of Blood - A
9. The Seven Samurai - A
10. Drunken Angel - A
11. High And Low - A- (brilliant first half but the police procedural stuff gets a tad dry)
12. Dersu Uzala - A- (gorgeous, but for whatever reason, doesn't register as much as films with similar subject matter like The Wild Child and Kaspar Hauser)
13. The Bad Sleep Well - A-
14. The Hidden Fortress - A-
15. Rhapsody in August - B+
16. Kagemusha - B+ (need to see again)
17. Akira Kurosawa's Dreams - B+
18. Sanshiro Sugata - B+
19. Sanjuro - B- (need to see again, the only Kurosawa film I've seen that I was unimpressed by.)

Own: 8 (waiting for re-release of Seven Samurai, had Ran sold it didn't buy the re-release because of problems now waiting for Criterion, will buy Yojimbo, Dersu and High & Low if higher quality release is issued, will buy Bad Sleep Well and Drunken Angel if/when released)

Still need to rent Lower Depths. Films I most want to see are I Live In Fear/Record of a Living Being which I would buy unseen, and No Regrets For My Youth.
