It ties neck-and-neck with "Ikiru", in my book. Totally different stories and meanings of human heroism. An amazing performance by Takashi Shimura in each film, remarkable cinematic storytelling, heart-rending yet stirring endings...
The Seven Samurai will teach you about courage, honor and comradeship. Ikiru will teach you how to be alive.

I liked "Ran", it was an excellent adaptation of Shakespeare's "King Lear"; but I think "Dreams" (his final movie) was his best on many levels visually.
The short stories, made for a jumpy plot, which is how most people dream. The huge advantage to this was you did not get bored or lost in one single plot. If you didn't like the first story, you could just wait 15 minutes to start the next one. Think of it as a smorgassboard of a film a try sampling each piece within the film.

I also like Rashomon and Yojimbo.
You ever see the movie the Magnificent Seven. This is a knock off of The Seven Samurai. Toshiro Mifune is still one of my favorite actors.

Well, I like it, but it isn't my absolute favorite, and since people tend to define "best movie" by their own personal tastes...Yojimbo is Kurosawa's best in my little world.
