Can't say I'll be able to hop on each and every movie you're watching, but I'd love to try with the stuff that's on Hulu Plus as there's a lot of early Kurosawa I haven't seen. In any event, best of luck on your journey. Kurosawa's work is life-affirming.

My strongest Soviet recs would be: Stalker Andrei Rublev Battleship Potemkin The Cranes Are Flying (I'd suggest starting with this; I think of it as the Casablanca of USSR) Letter Never Sent Ivan the Terrible Mirror I Am Cuba Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors Hedgehog in the Fog Man with a Movie Camera If you get through that, there's still: Alexander Nevsky Ballad of a Soldier Come and See Ivan's Childhood Steamroller and the Violin Nostalghia Salt for Svanetia Siberiade Solaris Strike

Kobayashi might be my favorite Japanese director and I still haven't watched The Human Condition. I can't fathom watching it alone and I have no idea who would sit down with me for it. He's got plenty of classics on the world cinema radar but I want to give a hearty recommendation of Black River. Dude knew how to make some daaaaark movies.
