@Faun, u forgot to add "Il Mare", "A Christmas in August" and "Audition" is Jap I guess
b/w, the list is good...I've not seen all of them.
Yeah, I stopped updating the list a long time ago, thanks for adding to the list and there are mistakes in listing too (some Hollywood movies and others were also included in Korean movies list by mistake)
@Faun:
Thanks for that great list. This page is Book marked...!
Not all are worth watching but the ones in bold are my fav with terse descriptions.
Korean:
*
3 Iron (Bin Jip) (Probably the best movie with universal language, it's a must watch for everyone)
* 100 Days with Mr.Arrogant (typical teen love movie)
* 200 Pounds Beauty
*
…ing (Unconventional ending and will make you cry)
*
A Bittersweet Life (it will sate your revenge appetite )
*
A Man Who was Superman (feels like a documentary and quite good if you are into offbeat cinema )
* A Millionaire’s First Love (another love story)
* A Moment to Remember
*
A Tale of Two Sisters (You gotta watch it umpteenth times to understand, visual treat and engrossing psychological horror)
* Bad Guy (Kim ki duk's masterpiece but it's bleak and gray)
* Beautiful (Arumdabda)
*
Bungee Jumping of Their Own (Love transcends every barrier)
* Chaser (Good thriller after Memories of murder)
*
Failan (For offbeat cinema lovers, two couples fall in love without even meeting or seeing each other and then the ending leaves you agape and disturbed. Answers the question "What is love?")
* Hearty Paws (its a pet dog movie good one but not extraordinary)
*
Joint Security Area (Let me consider it as another side of what happens at the militarized border apart from usual fusillade, another thriller)
*
King and The Clown
*
Lover’s Concerto (My favorite melodramatic movie, I just can't watch it again as the emotional outburst will be worse than ever.)
*
Love Phobia (Another melodrama, symbolic ending and good chemistry b/w the couples)
*
Lump of Sugar (A feel good inspirational movie where the girl's dream is to become a jockey just like her mother but there are a lot more hindrance to that)
*
Marathon (Best inspirational movie ever, commendable performance by the actor as an autism victim)
*
Memories of Murder (A well balanced serial killer movie, overall A+)
* Muoi
* My Girl and I
* My Little Bride
*
My Sassy Girl (my first korean movie, a pretty decent laugh riot and then there are coincidences, sad moments and what not)
*
Oldboy (A bizarre movie which will leave you aghast with horror but not for the weak hearted)
*
Once in a Summer (Another melodrama, good movie. Infact, a surprisingly good movie)
*
Once Upon a Time in Hight School (best school fight scene ever in the history of movies I have ever seen. A pretty good story too.)
*
Please Teach Me English (hahaha)
*
Resurrection of The Little Match Girl (If you love video games then this one is quite good)
*
Sad Movie (4 relationships and how they intersect at one point, falls in melodrama. Get some tissue paper.)
*
Samaritan Girl (Kim ki duk's symbolism language works really well)
*
Shiri (Thriller and suspense)
*
Spring, Summer,Fall,Winter and Spring (Second best movie after 3 iron)
*
Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (vengeance series, need I say more)
*
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (Everyone played the role of hero and villain at some point, you can't sincerely espouse someone's cause)
* The Bow
*
The Classic (This one is pretty similar to Lover's concerto in melodrama factor. Must watch)
* Time (Shi Gan)
* Truck
* Wedding Campaign
Japanese and misc:
* Audition (not for everyone and it's japanese)
* Battle Royale (slasher genre, and good one at that)
* Hinokio: Intergalactic Love (only if you like to go back to you childhood and rediscover your dream of controlling a robot)
* Machine Girl
* Marebito (this one is an oddball, not for 99%)
* Shutter (Original Thai version) (Good horror but not enough to scare me except the though of ending and the predicament of the protagonist)
*
The Most Distant Course (awesome movie, its the story and the characters that makes up this movie so brilliant.)
* The Story of Xiaoyan (another simple story with great message)
* Three… Extremes (Three horror short stories, artistically first one is great, second one is not for the squeamish and third one is urbane chaos)
*
All Around Us (If someone ever tell me sum up everything I want in a movie then this is the one to go for but then my taste is different than yours, it's for offbeat cinema lovers and the character development is something that will leave you saturated to the brim by the climax. You will feel the warmth at the end.)
Signing off for now as I am racing against the odds.
