Toshiro Mifune invented the modern action hero in Akira Kurosawa’s classic. The former’s grungy ronin wanders into a village and right into the middle of a gang war, only to turn the factions’ venality and dim wits to his advantage. Tatsuya Nakadai co-stars as a bonus badass. Fantastic score, too. -Lee Gardner
