5 absolutely essential Tatsuya Nakadai (1932–2025) performances, and an addendum. If you follow his filmography you will see some of the greatest films ever made. I considered not only the quality of the film, but also Nakadai's role. In Chronological order...

Borrowing something I heard Shin Kurokawa say at Kumoricon last weekend. When asked what new shows a fan of anime from the 80s-90s should watch, he replied, “Just watch the old stuff! It’s not expiring.”
Not the hottest take but still worth affirming.
