Any other ponies fans of film from across the ocean? Discuss and recommend films! Two of my favorites (both which star Choi Min Sik, a fantastic Korean actor)

 

Oldboy: The film follows the story of one Oh Dae Su who is locked in a hotel room for 15 years without knowing his captor's motives. When he is finally released, Dae-su finds himself still trapped in a web of conspiracy and violence.

 

I Saw The Devil: When his pregnant fiancee becomes the latest victim of a serial killer, a secret agent blurs the line between good and evil in his pursuit of revenge.

GO!

Battle Royale is an obvious choice, though the book was by far better.

I'm a huge fan of Jackie Chan's earlier work such as Drunken Master and the epic Drunken Master 2.

 

There was also Once Upon A Time In China, which stars a young Jet Li during the Boxer Rebellion, quite dramatic stuff.

 

And moving a little further to the southeast, Ong-Bak which I can barely remember but absolutely LOVING the hell out of.

 

OH OH OH, and The Host, a great Korean horror movie with some black comedy elements in it.

Stephen Chow, I got to say his films really have some of the most amazingly funny scenes I gave ever seen on film.

Also Dragon Ball: The Magic Begins was actually a descent adaptation, at least compared to Dragon Ball Evolution.

I really liked "A Taxing Woman". It's a light drama that looks at the work of a female tax officer in Japan.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many to list down individually. I liek:

Japanese/Korean horror, action, some dramas and anime

Kungfu and "epic" or period films from China

HK police/action stuff

Some Thai movies - Legend of Queen Suriyothai, Shutter; Ong Bak was so-so

the Phua Chu Kang comedy series from Singapore

 

want to see more Bollywood stuff in the future

No where near as amazing as the manga, but entertaining nonetheless.

Denz has been introducing me to Asian cinema and OMFG I am loving it! Not so much the cheesey kung fu movies, but the actual big budget movies. Previously I had only ever watched Godzilla movies and live action anime remakes. 

current faves so far:

Old Boy (love this), Ong bak, Battle Royale, Shaolin Soccar (yes cheesy), Kung Fu Hustle

and my biiiig fave: The Good, The Bad and the Weird - seriously one of the best films I have ever seen! The soundtrack is also amazing!

South Korea know how to do good films!

I liked the movie Confession of Murder. Another one I thought was pretty good was The Wailing.

Ran from 1985 - a masterpiece.
