I'll recommend Kwaidan, it rarely gets mentioned.
a >>79734849 is fine too.

Tokyo Gore Police

Shin Godzilla or the original Godzilla

>>79734416
Pale Flower

>>79734416
The only non-Kurasawa film that I've seen to come from Japan are the normie-tier Studio Ghibli films but Princess Mononoke is still good despite this

Oh and Godzilla of course

Tokyo Story.

Sorry I don't know much about Japanese cinema.

Battle Royale.

What basis am I making a recommendation on?

If they're not discerning and just want to be entertained, I'd probably just tell them to watch some Japanese horror film or Battle Royale.

I just watched a Jap film called Galaxy Turnpike (I think.) It was funny, bizarre, entertaining, shot well. Pretty kino.

This triggered me.


To OP: Any Ozu. Maybe "Floating Weeds"

Rashomon

or Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla
