Old Boy (Korea, 2003), which has also found it's way over here to America and Europe. It has insane amounts of violence and an awesome, confusing and dark story, and that combined with a rather open ending makes it one of my favourite movies, asian or not.

(Oh hey people, post a tad more than just a name, maybe an informational link or some info on why you like saiy film)

Il Mare is a really good Korean film. You might know it as the inferior Western remake titled The Lakehouse.

16 Name: Couch Potato : 2007-10-27 06:38 ID:gbk2vbHa

Just saw love and honor the non related trilogy to hidden blade and twilight samurai and thought it was as good as the others. The series centers around lower level samurai life.

"Infernal Affairs". The Hong Kong original of "The Departed".
Trilogy btw.

20 Name: Couch Potato : 2007-11-10 09:53 ID:Q8ROdj+x

Oh and "Shinobi" as my Japanese film.
Plot kind of falters in the second half of the movie, but it's still damn cool.

Cave of the Yellow Dog features a Mongolian Nomadic family with a cute little girl who wants to keep a stray dog against her father's wishes. Nothing horrible happens. She is really cute. It is my favourite film right now. Did I mention she is cute?

some of my recent favorites:

"Sympathy for Lady Vengeance" - if you like badass korean girls, lots of gore, directed by the cat who did Oldboy, so you know its really nuts.

"Lust, Caution" - if you have a long attention span, like forbidden love stories, lots of drama and tension, and has lots of semi-graphic fucking in it, but its a legit movie. Bring a girl and it will get her gorny, plus its a good movie.

^ ban the retard above.

I recommend: Bom yeoreum gaeul gyeoul geurigo bom (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring)

pretty much the only decent movie made around religion.

Just watched Koi no Mon, absurd, but hilarious.

Also, watched death note 1 & 2 a couple of nights ago (havent read any of the manga, so I actually really enjoyed the films)

Watch Vital, it's kinda weird but I really liked it.

riki-oh Hilarous must see
anything by Akira Kurosawa, seven samurai most notably
Anything by miike, includes Gozu (first mentioned in post above), the vengeance trilogy (coldboy, sympathy for lady vengeance...) and my personal favorite miike film young thugs:innocent blood.
Once upon a time in china series with jet li is good
Condition zero and sex is zero are good korean comedies
Oh and don't forget the incredibly awesome japanese series running from the 1960's to the 2000's- Zatoichi 29 movies of awesome japanese cinema.

37 Name: Couch Potato : 2008-04-01 06:17 ID:ziuRT23N

Lust Caution was so-so. Felt like they put in too much unneeded scenes.

Try Muay Thai (the recently rls'd one). There's a custom eng sub on ADC. It'll definitely change the way you think of Thai movies.

The Sympathy Trilogy: Sympathy for Mr Vengeance, Oldboy and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. Awesome movies.
