I've enjoyed some of Akira Kurosawa's works (Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Ran, Seven Samurai, Rashoman), and The Hidden Fortress is on my list, but I'd like to hear any of your suggestions for samurai cinema.

The Samurai Trilogy is great. It's a fictionalized telling of Musashi Miyamoto's life based on a serial published in a Japanese newspaper between 1935 and 1939 (and was later released as the novel "Musashi: An Epic Novel of the Samurai Era"). It was directed by Hiroshi Inagaki, and stars Toshiro Mifune as Miyamoto. I re-watch the trilogy once every couple of years. It's pretty solid.
