Pretty hard to top Rashomon. The best Kurosawa film ever, IMO.

All of the ones he did with Mifune are masterpieces - Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Red Beard, Throne of Blood, High and Low, etc...you can't go wrong with any of them.

Essential Kurosawa watching - Seven Samurai, Ran, Ikiru, Kagemusha. Do yourself a favor and get this box set if you can...

Contains 25 of the best masterpieces in the history of cinema ever made. :)
