Did not understand this one ford thing.
"In his autobiography, (Kurosawa) lists close to 100 films that impressed him during his youth and adolescence, and it is a very eclectic list, ranging from works by Griffith, Chaplin, and Stroheim to works by Victor Sjöström, Lupu Pick and Daisuke Itō." from Stephen Prince's book The Warrior's Camera.
I'm going to make it a mission to see every film on here that I haven't already.
an interesting list, which his fave of John Cassavetes is Gloria. But I agree with his fave Mizoguchi.
As Mark Ayala has pointed out, it was a list compiled by Kurosawa for the Japanese film magazine, Kinema Junpo. The full list can also be found here: http://wildgrounds.com/index.php/2009/01/17/akira-kurosawas-top-100-movies/
This was taken down for Kinema Junpo's top 100 list years ago. In his autobiography, Something Like an Autobiography, he mentions all the films that influenced him before joining the industry. That would make an interesting list as well.
