The only one you need to see.

Avoid this.

The Last Samurai

I just picked up the criterion collection of Lone Wolf and Cub. They are a ton of fun if you are looking for something more ridiculous. If you want something slightly more grounded maybe check out the Samurai trilogy or Sanjuro (if you have only seen Yojimbo). You can't go wrong with Kurosawa.

13 assassins (remake)
7 samurai
yojimbo (not really a samurai movie)

Harikiri is pretty good.

Is the Lone Wolf and Cub manga any good? I've been thinking about getting into manga again.

All of the Zatoichi movies

second this

Hey did u know that zatoichi and ogami itto were irl bros?

It's pretty good

Yep, the Lone Wolf movies were financed off the back of the success of Zatoichi. And to be honest that's fine by me, we got twice the goodness.

Here's some of my favorites:

Ran
Harakiri
Zatoichi Meets Yojimbo
Samurai Rebellion
Kagemusha

If you watch this, just remember that there was supposed to be a sequel.

this one is a trashy gem.

Does Rashomon count as a samurai movie?
