All 30 Akira Kurosawa Movies Ranked From Worst to Best

"In 1942, the respected Japanese screenwriter and director Mansaku Itami read a movie script titled A German at Daruma Temple. It had been rejected for filming by Japan's wartime censors, so it was published in a journal, but Itami was greatly impressed by what he read and predicted the script's author, Akira Kurosawa, would one day represent the new standard for Japanese cinema. Itami died just four years later, but history soon proved him right when Kurosawa was promoted to the director's chair and became not only one of Japan's finest artists but one of the most influential directors of the 20th century.
Kurosawa's impressive body of work ranges from lightweight comedies to searing masterpieces on the human condition"
