Start with HARAKIRI, 3 OUTLAW SAMURAI and SWORD OF DOOM. Of course, SEVEN SAMURAI is great, but (and i think this gonna get me some heat) i don't particular enjoy Kurosawas work. Also get the Boxset "Rebel Samurai: Sixties Swordplay Classics" and of course the ZATOICHI Set.
Non-Criterion but there is a US DVD for GOYOKIN, probably my favorite Samurai Flick ever.
