Zatoichi's Revenge. This was the first Zatoichi flick I ever saw (on IFC's Samurai Saturdays, which I miss terribly), and it holds up remarkably well on repeated viewings. It manages to strike a wonderful balance of everything that makes the character and the films wonderful--the dramatic climax and score by Akira Ifukube are especially satisfying. Definitely one of the best of this highly entertaining series.
