Please accept my apologies in advance if this is against any rules.

I have never watched an Akira Kurosawa film. How would I go about doing that?

I'm aware of the Criterion stuff, but it seems expensive if I don't even know if I'm going to like it (I have weird neuroses around movies; consequently, I don't watch many). Additionally I just don't want any more plastic in my house, if you know what I mean.

Any advice would be very much appreciated – thanks!

Edit: thanks very much everyone for the constructive conversation. I'll get an account at the library since I'd like to support them, and go from there. Cheers!

For Kurosawa specifically, you can find many of his films on the internet archive as others have mentioned
