AK 100: 25 Films by Akira Kurosawa (1943-1993) 25 x DVD Criterion Collection

The legendary director, who created such classics as Seven Samurai, Yojimbo and Rashomon, was born in 1910, and this collection was released in 2009 in anticipation of his 100th anniversary. While Kurosawa didn't live to see it (he died in 1998), collectors will be absolutely thrilled by the quality of this Criterion Collection product. Twenty-five discs capture the Japanese director at his finest, and four of the films have never before been released on DVD. This is the most complete set of Akira Kurosawa films ever made available to the public, and devoted fans will get over 3,072 minutes of widescreen viewing pleasure. From postwar noir to samurai epics (Toshiro Mifune is the man!), he was truly a director without equal.

Since he directed exactly 30 films during his 57 year career, that means this Akira Kurosawa collection is missing only five titles. Below's a complete list of the films included in AK 100: 25 Films of Akira Kurosawa, along with a description of each.
