-The Burmese Harp 1956

Director Kon Ichikawa's film was adapted by frequent collaborator (and wife) Nato Wada from a book by Michio Takeyama designed to introduce children to the fundamental principles of Buddhism. But, the movie is mostly about "one of the first films to portray the decimating effects of World War II from the point of view of the Japanese army."

Biruma no Tategoto (The Burmese Harp) - Rotten Tomatoes

-Walkabout

A 1971 film set in Australia
The contrast between modern, urban civilization and life in the natural world lies at the heart of Nicolas Roeg's visually dazzling drama Walkabout. In broad outline, the plot might resemble a standard fish-out-of-water tale: two city children become stranded in the Australian outback, and struggle to find their way back to civilization with the help of a friendly aborigine boy.
Walkabout - Rotten Tomatoes

-A Single Man

George Falconer (Colin Firth) feels lost. Not only is he still grieving the death of his longtime companion, Jim (Matthew Goode), but he's also a Brit teaching English at a California college. He's so distraught with heartbreak that he's decided to kill himself, and proceeds to get all his affairs in order while carrying on with what otherwise would be a normal day.
A Single Man - Rotten Tomatoes

-Gandhi

It was Richard Attenborough's lifelong dream to bring the life story of Indian political and spiritual leader Mahatma Gandhi to the screen. When it finally reached fruition in 1982, the 188-minute, Oscar-winning Gandhi was one of the most exhaustively thorough biopics ever made.
Gandhi - Rotten Tomatoes

-Seven Samurai

Akira Kurosawa's epic tale concerns honor and duty during a time when the old traditional order is breaking down. The film opens with master samurai Kambei (Takashi Shimura) posing as a monk to save a kidnapped farmer's child. Impressed by his selflessness and bravery, a group of farmers begs him to defend their terrorized village from bandits.

Seven Samurai (Shichinin no Samurai) - Rotten Tomatoes

Seven Samurai is described as one of the greatest and most influential films ever made.

-Samurai Fiction

Japanese samurai film that espouses the virtues of pacifism.
