Meru looks awesome, on the list!
Just re-watched Baraka for the umpteenth time. Great cine, shot in 8k res. And Samsara, the “sequel”.
The Quatsi trilogy is/was groundbreaking, Baraka/Samsara are derivative but stll enjoyable for cinematography and soundtrack.

Just ordered Baraka and Samsara from Amazon. Should make for some enjoyable viewing over the weekend. Thanks for the recommend.
@dlee Over the weekend I had the pleasure of viewing Baraka and Samsara for the first time. These are easily two of the best movie recommendations I’ve received in years. Without saying a word both these films convey such emotion and awe. I really have to thank you and am so glad I can add these film to my collection.

I want to keep this thread going so here are my top three Akira Kurosawa Films.
I find myself coming back to all these films at least once a year. The characters are always super engaging and the cinematography (especially on Hidden Fortess) is top notch.

With a wonderful theme written and played on the zither by a Viennese restaurant musician.

Love this film! Probably one of the more underrated WWII films and a top ten movie for me personally. The story and the way it is told is extremely engaging. I highly recommend the directors cut if you haven’t seen it yet.
Also this film is extremely demanding on speakers and amps. The depth charge sequences in particular really demands the power from the amplifier. While the amount of low end in the scene can be a problem for a lot of speakers easily causing distortion or chuffing. I bring this up because I find it to be a great test for peoples systems and it’s a great excuse to watch Das Boot again.
