I'm bored tonight and need something to watch.

What I've already seen:

Oldboy
A Bittersweet Life
Radio Star
Memories of Murder
Friend
Tae Guk Gi

So go ahead and recommend me some good Korean films. Also recommend other good foreign films too or just anything good.

EDIT: By the way, no romance films.

Joint Security Area wasn't bad, but I haven't seen the whole thing. Only about a half.

According to wiki it's the highest grossing film in korean history, so shouldn't be too awful.

I highly, highly recommend Taegukgi Hwinallimyo or Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War. The best Korean film I've ever seen. It's a story about war and brotherhood.

You'll understand the heroism and sorrow of the Korean war, and the futility and anger for the scar across Korea, the 38th parallel... and you will cry.

Forgot to mention that I've already seen it. Thanks though.

200 Pounds Beauty is really popular. While it's not exactly romance, if you don't like "simple, feel-good" plots, watch another film.
Same difference is not an oxymoron!

To your own and Enki's list, for priorities, add:

Castaway on the Moon
Sympahty for Mr. Vengeance
Moss
The Good The Bad The Weird
Children
No Mercy for the Rude

... for the really good (or at least really entertaining, in two cases) ones.

If you find anything good, also do please post more, I'm desperately running out.

Well, it does have a romance in it, although it's kinda in the backseat to the overall theme of the movie. It's really good though.

Oh yeah, and add Save the Green Planet! to that list as well. It's a blend of many different genres, but really great.

The Man from Nowhere/Ajusshi was really good. I just saw it the other day. It even sucked in my parents.

If you like horror movies "Confessions" was really great (it's Japanese though!)

There's a class for this (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

Watch "Sympathy for Mr vengeance" the first of the oldboy triology.

It's less "hollywood" than oldboy so you might be less impressed, but I personally thought it was a better movie than oldboy, at least after the second viewing.

If you don't mind more slow-paced films, definitely look at Kim Ki duk's movies too. I would start with Spring summer fall, winter and spring first. Then, either 3-iron or samaria.

In a similar vein, but more accessible, I would also recommend Lee chandong's Peppermint Candy, Oasis, and secret sunshine. All are very solid movies.

Needless to say, none of these are romance movies.

Ok, just saw no romance, although it's not bog standard

For other foreign films, Departures is very good too

Silmido and Seven Days are the Korean movies that stick out to me as not terrible. And there was this movie where based on a true story with a guy ordering hookers and killing them, if anyone knows the name.
