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.  | ||

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

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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

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. | ||

Also, as others mentioned, definitely watch The Host and The Man From Nowhere. A Moment To Remember is supposed to be very good, haven't seen it yet but that's what most of my friends say. It's a drama though. Dunno if that's what you're looking for. And for other Asian films, watch anything by Takeshi Kitano (start with Hanabi). | ||

My Sassy Girl was the first Korean movie that I truly truly liked. Sucked me in and I watched it a dozen times. JJH is so facking beautiful and the male lead was perfectly casted as well. The other movie I really enjoyed out of all the ones I've seen is JSA. At the time I knew nothing about the DMZ and the turmoil between the north and the south so I came in with a blank slate. The movie does not disappoint. Damn it, the other one that made an impression on me was a movie called 'Friend'. That's the english name, can't remember the Korean name I think it's Chin Gu. Such an awesome movie about brotherhood and friendship. | ||
