Has anyone got a few good movies to share? Korean/Japanese specifically? Japanese ones don't specifically need to have subtitles, so yeah - I tried doing a search and there were no threads really that were active or alive.
I'd seen quite a few, but I want to find more! Plus it could be a good discussion point!
For me, a few good ones are:
The Sorcerous and the White Snake 1 Liter of Tears (so sad :'() Koizora (Sky of Love/Sky Love) Nobody Knows
Edit: Forgot to add in Chinese movies too! :D

The Man from Nowhere (Aejossi) (http://www.imdb.de/title/tt1527788/) Memories of a Murder (Salinui chueok) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0353969/) Confessions (Kokuhaku) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1590089/)
all of them are very good. You might enjoy the vengeance trilogy as well.

Ahh, I've heard of the Vengeance trilogy, just never got around it. I think I'll check that out first. The others look pretty good, especially Kokuhaku. :D
|
Kokuhaku is nothing like you would expect from the describtion, but it is a very good movie.
|
Oh, how so? From the plot/description it looks like a psychological drama-movie. I kinda' like those movies, depending on how 'ease to digest' it is, as I hate easy to understand movies.
It still looks good regardless though! :D
|
From the describtion it looks like the teacher is going into class, taking out a chainsaw cutting heads and arms off. At least to me, hahaha :p!

Noroi is probably the scariest movie I have ever seen. I highly recommend it. Starts off slow, but the later half of the movie is crazy.
Are you in Japan at the moment? I am moving to Tokyo in 2 weeks.

I'd recommend you reading the Korean Drama thread from this post onwards. There's been some discussion about Korean movies and a lot of good recommendations.
Japanese: everything by Takeshi Kitano.
|
My Sassy Girl and A Moment to Remember are two of the best Korean romance movies if you're into romance genre.
Shinjuku Incident is a good movie about Japanese mafia and Chinese immigrants starring Jackie Chan.
So Close and Naked Weapon are about hot girls kicking butt.

Ya, I am living in Akabane with my host family. Been here for almost six months on my exchange uni course (I've known my family for longer than 4 years though due to High School :D).
However I am leaving soon. T_T
OT: I've seen Noroi and wow it was scary, hence not one of my favorites.

The KDD is only 20ish pages long.

My favorite Japanese movies are:
Byousoku Go Senchimeetoru (5 Centimeters per Second) Okuribito (Departures) Perfect Blue
Just me and my foreigner tastes, though :D
|
Tae Guk Gi Brotherhood of War is one of my Korean movie favorites. check it out!
|
I remember watching Suicide Circle (Jisatsu Sakuru?) I thought it was creepy and at the same time, kinda funny...
