Criterion suggests insane pricess for their dvd's and only in Kurosawas case would I say such prices are worth it, but if you to dvdempire or deepdiscountdvd they both offer reasonable deals on his dvds, the new 3disc set you could get for around 32 from deep and I think empires price goes up and down with availibility usually around 34. Most of the kurosawa dvds are 30 but some run 22 depending where you go. I will say this, each and every one of kurosawas films is worth the price and more so if you are unsure about one of his films because of the price you wont be dissapointed.
As it stands now I have seen and own
Stray dog
Seven samurai
Throne of blood
Hidden fortress
The bad sleep well
Yokimbo
Sanjuro
I have seen Rashomon but even though its a powerful and exceptional Kurosawa film its not a movie I have any desire to watch again.
I also just ordered the lower depths and high and low.
