I'm not thesloppy, but i've seen a great number of Kitano films:

You shold check out Brother (a fair amount of which is actually in English), Hana-Bi (Fireworks), and for a more light-hearted movie (but quite good) Kikujiro. I also liked Kids Return a great deal, but it's a pretty big departure for his other stuff, and he doesn't have a role in the movie, unlike everything else where he's the lead.
