Classics of Akira Kurosawa:
The Seven Samurai
Throne of Blood (an adaptation of MacBeth)
Yojimbo (inspiration behind the Eastwood classic "Fistful of Dollars")
Sanjuro (sequel to Yojimbo)
The Hidden Fortress (inspired many elements of Star Wars)
Ran (adaptation of King Leer)
Other classic samurai movies/series:
Samurai Rebellion
Samurai I, II, and III (a movie about Musashi Miyamoto, the famous swordsman and author of The Five Rings)
That's what comes to mind right off-hand while I'm at work...
