who else is into asian movies and what are some of your faves?

current fave: lady vengeance

 

casshern ftmfw.

 

Old Boy and Lion Tiger Gate.

 

Lady Vengeance was awesome. I liked it much more than Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance(although it was still damn good).

 

Loved Casshern and Oldboy. Haven't seen Lion Tiger Gate. Any good? A friend and I saw this new movie "Spirited Killer" with Tony Jaa @ FYE so my friend ended up getting it. Don't waste ur money, he's in there for probably 10 mins and dies. It's an old movie and even crap would say that's crap.

Other faves: Battle Royale, Azumi, Shinobi, Pulse, Survive Style 5, The Promise, Ichi the Killer, 3 Extremes, Aragami. . .

 

The Classic (Korean)
Sad Movie (Korean)

Just naming a few ^_^....

 

I know My Sassy Girl is a soap but there's a movie based on it?? I didn't watch it much but I liked what I've seen.

 

^^ um... My Sassy Girl is a movie. If there is a drama I didn't see it, bc this movie is probably one of the most famous Korean movies out there since they remade it here under another title.

 

Old Boy ,Ichi The Killer, Battle Royale

Volcano High
A Tale of Two Sisters

I have The Returner. It's a pretty good movie.

I've wanted to see Attack the Gas Station for awhile now. Please tell me it's good! I saw the Returner when it came on HBO or something. Pretty cool movie, need to see it again. I own Izo too and I still have problems understanding that movie. Anyone else seen it?

I mess up the name above it is not Lion Tiger Gate, It is " Dragon Tiger Gate" By Donnie Yen.

Dragon Tiger Gate is awsome, better than most Jet Li movie. (Jet Li's first movie"Shaolin Temple" still the the best
