I’ve enjoyed some of Akira Kurosawa’s works (Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Ran, Seven Samurai, Rashoman), and The Hidden Fortress is on my list, but I’d like to hear any of your suggestions for samurai cinema.

Shinya Tsukamoto’s 2018 film Killing is a great, tense story that both plays into and undermines some of the tropes of samurai films. It’s a bit brutal at times, and also amusing in that wry way that Tsukamoto is so good at.
I’ll have to try that!
