Oldboy 2004, R)
Might be my favorite movie ever. Great cinematography, enthralling plot, and Oh Dae Su is an amazing character. Has one of the best fight scenes in history. |
|

Janghwa, Hongryeon (A Tale of Two Sisters) 2003, R)
I've seen this about eight times, and it never gets old. More eerie than scary with great atmosphere. |

A Bittersweet Life (Dalkomhan insaeng) 2005, Unrated)
Great acting by Hwang-hun Lee, great directing by one of my favorites - Ji-woon Kim. Stylish, cool, tragic. We need more movies like this. |

Chungking Express 1994, PG-13)
Everyone is so charming in this (well, except Blond Wig Woman... seriously, what was so intriguing about her?), and it's definitely the most accessible of Wong Kar Wai's films. I didn't even mind hearing California Dreamin' 80,000 times. |

CJ7 2008, G)
This creature is the cutest thing I've ever seen. It has some really sad parts and they abuse CJ7 a bit too much for my liking, but it's a really cute movie. |

Dalkom, salbeorhan yeonin (My Sweet, Yet Brutal Sweetheart) (My Scary Girl) 2006, Unrated)
Funny. Feels a lot like a typical American romantic (dark) comedy, but the actors make it very fun to watch. |

A really fun little movie, great music. Du-na Bae is awesome. |

Fah talai jone (Tears of the Black Tiger) 2000, Unrated)
A gorgeous, (intentionally) campy and over-the-top Western spoof... I loved it. |

Chakushin Ari (One Missed Call) 2004, R)
I know this has some really creepy moment in it, but I can't remember what they were. Months after seeing it, I mostly remember it being silly but kind of fun to watch. |

Saekjeuk shigong (Sex Is Zero) 2002, Unrated)
A Korean mix of American Pie and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Surprisingly funny, and I don't even like gross-out college kid sex romp movies. It turns somewhat serious toward the end with a botched abortion, but still a fun movie overall. |
|
| 54 |
Namgeuk-ilgi (Antarctic Journal) 2005, Unrated)
There are a lot of good, even great things about this movie, but in the end I think it fails. |

Parang-juuibo (My Girl and I) 2005, Unrated)
Tearjearker alert. Very sweet, though. Hye-kyo Song is adorable. |

WaSanGo (Volcano High) 2002, PG-13)
The "MTV version" with the english dubbing by American rappers is to be avoided. The original version is a fun movie. |

Foul King 2000, Unrated)
I heard really good things about this, but it was too slow in places, and too long overall. Has some funny moments, but needed more of them. |

Memento Mori 2005, Unrated)
It's unfortunate that these kinds of movies get billed as horror films... because they aren't. This is mostly a drama about two teen lesbians in a Korean girls school. It was ok, but the "scary" elements kinda ruined an otherwise interesting story. |

Oasis 2004, Unrated)
The acting is amazing, but it was all just too much for me to take. Watching these characters is difficult and painful and by the end of it, I needed a serious hug. |

Ananda Everingham looks a lot like Orlando Bloom. |

Audition (Ôdishon) 1999, R)
Probably wouldn't be most people's cup of tea. Very slow and almost boring until the very end. Then, lots of gore and tension. |

Suicide Club 2002, R)
Very strange movie, and very hard to follow. Subliminal messages and trend-following pretty much sums it up, right? I think it's helpful to know something about Japanese society before you can get everything that's going on. Lots of metaphors/symbolism. |

Marebito 2004, R)

Yogen (Premonition) 2004, R)
The special effects are low budget and laughable at times, but otherwise very entertaining. |
|
| 106 |
Uzumaki 2000, G)
This movie must be pretty bad, because I watched it a few months ago and I can't remember a thing about it. I remember thinking that it was weird, but that's about it. |
|
| 107 |
Visitor Q (Bijitâ Q) 2001, R)
I spent half the time with my hands over my eyes saying, "oh jesus". It's disgusting and disturbing, but also very funny with a surprisingly heartwarming message. It's a very dark shock comedy. |

Boring and pretentious. I'm not even completely against movies that are boring and pretentious, but I just couldn't take this. Although I did enjoy the the storyline about the yakuza boss. |
|

Densha otoko (Train Man) 2005, Unrated)
A sweet little romance with some really funny moments. If you can identify with the awkward geek hero of the film, you'll like it even more. |
