RAN, Seven Samurai, Battle Royale and Ichi the Killer
For animated films- Princess Mononoke, Ghost in the Shell, Howl's moving castle. I think Akira is overrated.
p.s. KH made a very excellent call with Tampopo! That movie got lots of critical acclaim, I'd forgottten about it...

The three samurai movies Yoji Yamada has directed since 2000 are excellent. They would be "Twilight Samurai", "Hidden Blade" and "Love and Honour". The last one stars Takuya Kimura. Rie Miyzawa is in the first, and Takako Matsu is the love interest in "Hidden Blade". These are the Japanese films that fill theatres in Japan, rather than become "cult" films in video stores outside Japan. If you want to see a classic Japanese film that is very accessible, try Ozu's first colour film-"Floating Weeds". It stars the Machiko Kyo and Ganjiro Nakamura, who was also a kabuki star.

By all means, Godzilla. or Godzilla versus Mothra. Many Godzilla fans out there.
You could always watch "Letters from Iwo Jima which stars a lot of Japanese actors and is subtitled.

Actually Japanese movies or movies based in Japan? subtitles? no subtitles?
Go to the DVD/Movie section of Yahoo and see if they have some. Lots of times they have critic reviews and readers reviews for all genres.
