Probably my favorite pairing is Wages of Fear/Sorcerer.
I can't say either entertained me, but they are both quality efforts and in the comparison of approaches demonstrate a lot.
I'll put that on the list (assuming it is available at Netflix). I've passed on the Kurosawa version several times (wasn't aware of the Renoir) version simply because I can't stand Gorky (what little of it I've read, translated or in Russian).
