Zatoichi the blind swordsman is a great samurai series of movies with the titular character being blind. According to this kung-fu movie forum, it has apparently been dubbed into English but the commentators are not sure where to find the dubbed copy. There are several movies, and at least one more recent remake (2003 with Beat Takeshi) and Amazon is showing all of these with English subtitles so if you have a subtitle-reader that could work. I think old samurai movies would be great as just audio, with the small sounds of shifting feet, the long quiet pauses as tension builds, the sharp clash of steel, and spaghetti western style of over-acting. Zatoichi is in my top 5 Samurai movies of all time, and your post reminded me to watch it again so thanks!
