Sukiyaki Western DjangoHarakari13 Assassins
Would the good folks at Filmspotting suggest one of the above, or a different film as a first Miike?
I would recommend 13 Assassins. It's not typical of Miike's more notorious work, but it is well made and will give you confidence that this is a solid director with skills. Perhaps a cushion of goodwill if you choose to venture into some of his riskier filmography.
I wish this community would pledge to doing a Marathon of Kobayashi and Satyajit Ray in 2014.
