There is an excellent and very interesting post at lady_wakasa’s blog, basically taking Something Like an Autobiography (Kurosawa’s autobiography, as you all know) and chronologically listing the films that the mentions up until the age of 19. The resulting list is one of the most interesting things I have seen for a long time!
