Default Re: The Best Kurosawa Movie I\'ve Seen So Far...

WillMagic,

I picked up the Honk Kong copy made by MEI AH of "The Bad Sleep Well." It could a better translation and the print needs to be cleaned up, but at least it was cheap. I hope criterion decides to release it. It's a great film because the subject matter still applies today and it is one of the easier films to understand, even with bad subtitling. If you have not checked it out yet, get "Throne of Blood." It comes with two English subtitle versions from criterion. The other two you mention, Yojimbo and High and Low, are also at the top of my list. My other favorite is "The Hidden Fortress."

Good Luck

Mark
