За култниот јапонски режисер, Френсис Форд Копола има кажано: „Она што го разликува Куросава од сите други е што тој нема направено едно или две ремек дела. Тој има направено осум!“
Татко ми секогаш викаше дека постојат премногу филмови кои ги сака за да може да се состави Топ 10 листа. Тоа објаснува зошто на следната листа нема да најдете многу филмови кои тој ги има оценето како преубави. Принципот при изборот беше јасен: по еден филм од еден режисер и затоа има и незаборавни филмови за кои секогаш зборувал но и такви кои никогаш јавно не ги пофалил“, вели ќерката на режисерот Казуко Кусорсава.
