The films of Kurosawa Akira

Rashomon is on my very short to-watch list.

Might have to make a stop at Suspect Video (shameless plug) on the way home...

Which movie is it where the guy uses a plumb bob to aim his rifle in the night?

I've seen Yojimbo, which was the inspiration for Sergio Leone's "Fistful of Dollars." Great stuff!

can anybody actually see the plot link between Hidden Fortress and Star Wars? I just watched HF again and i can't really see it - not to the point where you'd say the plot of HF inspired the plot of SW. ok, there's a princess on the run from enemy forces, but that's about it. the two central characters in HF are peasants who bicker constantly, so maybe there'a a link to the two droids C3P0 and R2D2, but it's all a bit tenuous i think.

i liked throne of blood, and the theme song ... haven't seen the others in a while, they were good tho (yojimbo, seven samurai, etc.)

have you seen tattooed life? (wiki it if not.) that was good.
