Drunken Angel, Akira Kurosawa,

I enjoyed Kurosawa's film immensely! My favorite character was the Doctor. The Drunken Angel. His abrasive methods towards the Yakuza character's, I thought, were very bold and courageous. They way a drunken man would confront someone. But the Doctor did it even when he was sober! I know many symbolism were in the film but I'm not focusing on those. I enjoyed watching my first Japanese film whose mouths moved with the sound precisely! I was surprised at the acting ability of most of the cast! All in all this movie really reversed my stereotyped opinion on such films.
