Seven Samurai is the most common place to start

From there you can go in many directions. Some of his best films are Rashomon, Ikiru, Ran, Yojimbo, High and Low, Throne of Blood.

I would really recommend watching Red Beard after you get done with the ones above.

It's his most underrated film and I would say one of his top 5.

this basically.

I started with Seven Samurai and it was stunning. I dont know if others may have catch it, but you could see the influence it had on anime.

I really like the postwar era Kurosawa. I'd recommend you check The drunken angel and A wonderful sunday, and No regrets for our youth.
