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

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.

true. you should watch everything by him and WITH him. he is a great actor, as well as director.

another hilarious show in Japan is bakatono-sama. they make new ones every new years. your host family will know it.

Nonono, what you mean is the Korean Music discussion which is pretty big, I agree. The KDD is only 20ish pages long.

Departures is an excellent film! Shocked that no ones mentioned it yet, but Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai is a legendary film.
