- 'Seven Samurai' (1954) Letterboxd Rating: 4.5/5. A revolutionary action epic that's aged like wine in the nearly 70 years since its release, Seven Samurai is an undeniable classic.
- 'High and Low' (1963) Letterboxd Rating: 4.5/5. Few thrillers that are as old as High and Low hold up and remain exciting the same way High and Low does.

- 'Ran' (1985) Letterboxd Rating: 4.4/5. While Throne of Blood saw Akira Kurosawa adapting Macbeth and The Bad Sleep Well (1960) saw him loosely adapting Hamlet, with 1985's Ran, the great director set his sights on Shakespeare's play King Lear.
