Any recommendations from his work for someone who hadn't heard of him before?

Rashomon and Seven Samurai are classics. Kagemusha is probably my favorite.

"samurai" movies:

- Seven Samurai

- Rashomon

- Ran

- Throne of Blood

- Kagemusha

non-samurai:

- High and Low

- Ikiru

I would say that the essentials are Seven Samurai, High and Low, Rashomon.
