Asian movies worth seeing? - General

Ong Bak The movie is fucking epic. Bruce Lee eat your heart out

[QUOTE=Tayasha;17280243]As mentioned before, Oldboy. Drunken Master II. (Yay Jackie Chan!) Fist of Legend. Crouching tiger hidden dragon. Onibaba. A tale of Mari and three puppies. (This movie made me cry a river. D: ) [b]Memories of Murder is a great film, should see it too.[/b] There's Machine Girl as mentioned before. Really cheesy but loved it. There's this movie called Chocolate too. I love it. Suicide Club. Nobody Knows, great movie too. ;o; A tale of two sisters. (Frigging loved this one. So worth to see it.) Maybe an anime one so.. Grave of the Fireflies. And others already mentioned. There's lots more! Up to you to watch some of them! They're all good in my opinion to share with you. Sorry if it was too much, I just love foreign films, especially Asian ones.[/QUOTE] I forgot about Memories of Murder. That was a great movie. Asian movies are so fucking good.

Spirited Away

Anything by Takashi Miike is incredible he's a fantastic director.

Grave of the fireflies and battle royal, both of them :)

The Legend of Speed is a pretty good Chinese film.

Visitor Q Audition The Protector Tale of Two Sisters All good movies go watch them.

Paprika(It's anime though, but a great mindfuck) Monster(Anime too, series)

Ong Bak :D [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuqV1RWDhXc[/media] There is an English dub.

[b]Huo Yuan Jia (also known as Fearless)[/b] [img]http://www.avistaz.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/huo-yuan-jia-drama-poster-2.jpg[/img] It's a movie loosely based on the life of Huo Yuan Jia, a famous martial artist.

[QUOTE=Cyrex;17300478]Paprika(It's anime though, but a great mindfuck) [/QUOTE] This, oh god this. Incredible movie.

I know this has probably been mentioned, but, fuck it, it's good. [img]http://dereklieu.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/ong-bak-poster.jpg[/img]

Oldboy is probably already suggested.

I really liked Battle Royale, go see that one.

Audition, I'm a Cyborg, but that's Okay, Vengeance Trilogy (including Oldboy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Lady Vengeance) Versus, Sky High, Suicide Club, Three Extremes (three stories, last one is some fucked up shit!) and obviously Battle Royale.

I not stupid is dumb. Only singaporeans can understand it.

Ninja Love 3:The Last Rape

"Gwoemul - "Monster" I dunno, I watched it, abit gorey, but yeah, fairly good in my opinion [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Host_%28film%29[/url]

[QUOTE=ray243;17301092]I not stupid is dumb. Only singaporeans can understand it.[/QUOTE] Hmm, true.

[QUOTE=Rygar69;17297666]Anything by Takashi Miike is incredible he's a fantastic director.[/QUOTE] I've looked him up on Wiki and it says "He has directed over seventy theatrical, video, and television productions since his debut in 1991. In the years 2001 and 2002 alone, Miike is credited with directing fifteen productions." And his list is really huge, some of the movies in there were already suggested, but which are especially good?

Takashi Miike did a Masters of Horror episode(Showtime series) called "Imprint". It was extreme that even an American pay cable channel like Showtime wouldn't show it. It's like a summary of everything he does in one hour, highly recommended. Two movies that get high marks from others didn't really work for me. Oldboy and Tale of Two Sisters. Oldboy because the 'answer' was pretty lame I thought, although the implications were mind blowing. Sisters because I thought it was too frickin' boring for too long, it took too long to get to the point. It was beautiful to look at though. Watching that movie was like taking out a really hot chick. She makes you spend all night, and all your money, on her and then gives you a five minute handjob at the end- not worth it.

Any more suggestions? I'm interested in obscure Asian horror movies now.

[QUOTE=Poltergeist Three;17318537]Any more suggestions? I'm interested in obscure Asian horror movies now.[/QUOTE] "The Host" It's not really obscure, but it's definitely one of the best.

People unfamiliar to the culture of the small country (especially the vast differences in academic structure) may not even understand the main plot.

i once watched a movie called serina fucks like a ninja on redtube it was ok
