I don't know if it would end up on my list, but it would definitely be in consideration for me.

Blade Of The Immortal would almost certainly be in my Top 25 Miike films as well.

I don't know. I'm pretty basic. Tokyo Story or Hausu, possibly. I really enjoy Oshima's films and I think the one of his I like the most is Death by Hanging. Seijun Suzuki is another favorite as a director, but even for just him, it's hard to narrow it down. I feel like I really enjoy Pistol Opera, but Youth of the Beasts is just kinda great energy start to end. But these days I find myself mentally drawn back to the two first entries in the Taisho trilogy a lot, which makes me want to say Zigeneurweissen (sp?).

I've never really clicked with Kurosawa. Need to go back and explore Mizoguchi one day. And just to see more Ozu. Maybe in the context of his other movies Late Spring will seem better, but Tokyo Story stands out to me a lot more.
