Great idea, Kirby. However, if you REALLY love Kurosawa -- you should travel to Palo Alto California for the Akira Kurosawa Film Festival running from: February 20 - March 30, 2010 and see these films on the big screen. Check out the schedule at: http://www.stanfordtheatre.org/stf/calendars/Kurosawa.html
This is a beautiful theater with an amazing collection of vintage posters in the lobby.
