Asian movies worth seeing? - General

I've seen some Asian movies (Chinese and Japanese) and I have become very interested in seeing more Asian movies. I am not looking for anything specific, so give me some names whether the movies are old black and white noir movies, or 90s Hongkong gangster movies, or obscure horror movies or whatever. I am interested in anything as long as it's good. Maybe give me some movies that aren't all that famous, instead of stuff I'll find in a random list when looking on Google The movies I have seen (as far as I can remember) (and I enjoyed every single one of them, you should see them too if you haven't) Infernal Affairs 1, 2, 3 Seven Samurai The Curse of the Golden Flower Life! (or something, the one about communist China which was banned in the People's Republic) The Long Goodnight another Hongkong movie with that popular actor some other movies I forgot Edit: Oh I wanted to see Battle Royale because Quentin Tarantino mentioned it in some scooby interview about his favourite movies of the last 20 years or something.

If you're into your cars, Initial D

Assembly is also pretty good but it stagnates about half way through. Maybe it was because I wasn't paying attention/couldn't tell who was who. Tae guk gi if you haven't watched it and maybe shiri

It isn't Asian made but The Last Emperor is a really good one to watch.

I wanna see initial d

I saw the box of some movie with Tony Leung on the cover, he had a devo hair cut and was holding a hammer in his hand. Looked like some sort of grindhouse-like thriller or something. Does somebody know it and is it good?

Battle Royale 40 Japanese students are put on an island with explosive collars on the neck. by the end of 3 days, the last one standing gets to go home or else the collars kill all of them its freaky, gorey and a good watch

Uzumaki?

Hard boiled and Killzone

oh, you already wanted to see it, my bad :P

The Taste of Tea is pretty good movie.

Brotherhood of war The host And this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maaM8Ix8NLo[/media]

Shutter. It's in Thai.

Naughty Asians strike back. Lesbo Island 3 Asian Edition

No Asian movie is ever worth seeing, except the ones mentioned by nat.

Pokemon: the First Movie

Last Samurai

I recommend Assembly, its a war film based on the Chinese Civil War and the Korean War. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9rBOo4m-o4[/media]

[QUOTE=thereisno131;17265569]Battle Royale [b]Kung Fu Hustle[/b] New Police Story The Maid Ip Man <-- MUST FUCKING WATCH DIEU LE LO MO[/QUOTE] That movie is hilarious

I heard Red Cliff was a good show, I personally never watched it.

[QUOTE=thereisno131;17265621]I heard Red Cliff was a good show, I personally never watched it.[/QUOTE] It's in two parts. Also, I watched it, its amazing. Epically the 'borrow arrows from your enemies' part.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say... Ichi the Killer. Tadanobu Asano's performance is most notable as Kakihara the sadistic Yakuza member that enjoys seeing other's in pain. He cuts off his own tongue, it's on YouTube. [B]NSFW[/B] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xG74Vr5_fQ[/media]

[QUOTE=GunskiMod;17265444]Last Samurai[/QUOTE] fuck no also, keep them coming, those all look good! they all seem rather new though, what about some older/b&w movies? also, any horror movies?

It's really one of the best Asian movies I've ever watched, and I can honestly say that not one Hollywood movie can replicate the style and essence of it.
