I like Akira Kurosawa films, the classics. The Last Samurai was great too, although it's not a Japanese movie, it still takes place in Japan.

Il like Kurosawa too. My favourite o his movies is Rashomon.
Then Miyazaki is great too, Mononoke, Laputa and Howl are his best movies imo.
Last year I watched oh-oku: the women of inner palace, in the plane on my way back, and I enjoyed it so much.
Last but not least I'd mention Akira.

Old Akira Kurosawa's movies and contemporary Takeshi Kitano's.
Shichinin no samurai,
Kikujiro no natsu, Hana-bi
