Dalkomhan insaeng (2005) (A Bittersweet Life) - An action movie with similarities to OldBoy. Taegukgi (2004) (Brotherhood of War) - Very good Korean war movie. Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002) and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (2005) - 2 Good action movies from the director of OldBoy.

korean movies i suggest. 1. JSA (Joint Security Zone). 2. Friends. 3. Windstruck (Proquel to My sassy girl). But the story is completly unrelated. I consider this a chick's movie. 4. Sex is zero. | ||

Blue Spring Platonic sex Battle Royale (only the first one) if you haven't seen it already. Chinese movies: This one just came out in america i think: curse of the golden flower. Most chinese ppl liked the movie but i heard it hasn't done so well overseas. Blade (old wuxia action packed hongkong movie). | ||

"The end" now this movie, here in italy was named with a russian female name, something like "ninotchka" or something (but daaaaaaaaamn i can't even remember that name) help me found that title, and honestly once we found out that title, watch this smart and great movie ... pusher and this are two of the best movies i ever seen EDIT: OMG I found it "Lilja forever" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0300140/ | ||

The plot makes no sense, and half way through, it turns into an anti-American film. | ||

You can never go wrong with Kurosawa. Movies like Seven Samurai, Ikiru, and Ran are some of my favorites of all time.' | ||

i didn't like windstruck though..hmm. some other korean films i'd suggest are silmido, and if you have the time to watch it, one of the greatest (or people say, the greatest) korean drama, the sandglass aka 모래시계. | ||

For comparison, I think The Bunker (1982) with Anthony Hopkins was a better movie on the subject. | ||

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056058/ Suna no onna http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058625/ Those two films are my support for the asian cinema fans, few have seen them. Even tho they are up there with pretty much all kurosawa flicks in greatness. | ||

Il Gittardo Morte A Venezia Rocco e i suoi fratelli La Dolce Vita 8 1/2 Italian fantastic/giallo: Mario Bava: Black Sunday, Terrore Nello Spazio (first movie inspired by the novel that later inspired Ridley Scott's "Alien") Lucio Fulci: The Beyond, Zombi 2 Dario Argento: Profondo Rosso, Phenomena, 4 mosche di velluto grigio (my favorite!) You could also try out some Ingmar Bergman's movies, especially The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries. | ||
