Hi,
If Ito Daisuke is a good source, then so is Makino Masahiro.  Although some of 
his films are still available, he made very many remakes in the 50's and 
60's.  Check out, if you can find it, the Shimizu Jirocho sangoku shi series 
from 1953-54 for different kinds of crowd scenes, not just fight scenes.
Other suggestions:  Mizoguchi's Ugetsu monogatari for the 16th c. market 
scene, Saikaku ichidai onna for several large scale "crowd" scenes.
In general, you are going to have a lot more luck with period films than with 
contemporary films.
Cheers,
SAT
