I really enjoyed The Hidden Blade, a Japanese movie about a low-ranking samurai trying his best to comply with the strict rules of behavior of the time when his lord turns out to be less than honorable. It was interesting not just for that, but also for the depiction of Japanese life during that period, and even some humor when the samurai encounter Western ideas.

If you liked The Hidden Blade you may enjoy The Twilight Samurai from the same director. The two films were very similar both in characters and plot, although I think The Hidden Blade was more polished.
