Must watch - Kurosawa flicks. You cant go wrong with any of those.
Toshiro Mifune is your man. Check out his works.

Thanks; this should keep me busy for a while. So far, my favorite was The Sword of Doom, with Kagemusha a very, very close second. Ashe.

what about the older films? Ran was great so was seven samurai

I just saw Ran and would highly recommend it, dont grab it if your looking for lots of action though. Seven Samurai is a definite must see.
Check out Shogun Assassin series AKA Lone Wolf And Cub. massively under rated samurai flicks with arterial spray aplenty.
but don't you think Ran has that epic quality - truly majestic
