    Recommended Kurosawa:
    Beyond the obvious, such as "Yojimbo" and "Seven Samurai" -- one of the greatest films ever made and, believe me, that term underrates it -- just about
    everything Kurosawa directed is worth watching; even the low points like "Akira
    Kurosawa's Dreams" and "Rhapsody in August". But if I had to pick ten that are
    essential without the benefit of being well-known, this is what they'd probably
    be:
    "Stray Dog"
    "One Wonderful Sunday"
    "High and Low"
    "Drunken Angel"
    "The Bad Sleep Well"
    "Ikiru"
    "I Live in Fear"
    "The Idiot"
