Must-See Korean movies

[Irukandji]

Anyway, summers been really relaxing so far, so I've been watching a lot of movies, and I have to say, I'm really impressed with movies coming out of South Korea nowadays.

here's just a list of movies i STRONGLY recommend.

I rented most of these from Blockbuster, so they're really easy to find in the foreign section... and yes they have subtitles.


Old Boy
Sympathy for Lady Vengeance
Phone
Tale of Two Sisters (not in blockbuster)
Attack the Gas Station
Guns and Talks (not in blockbuster)
Public Enemy
My Sassy Girl
Beast and the Beauty


Not so amazing, but still cool movies
H
St John's Wort



movies to avoid
Spider forest
Sorum

so if you're bored, check em out.

Shiri
My Sassy Girl


There's another movie like My Sassy Girl, but it's called "Beast and the Beauty".

It's pretty hard to find, but i found mine on bittorrent.

I don't know if they are must watch (honestly I don't think very many Korean movies are "must watch", even the Vengence movies), but a few more.

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring
Ii Mare (OG Korean version of The Lakehouse)
Bichunmoo
A bittersweet life (if you're into the vengence movies you'll probably dig this)
Crying Fist
This Charming Girl

Sympathy for Lady Vengance? Is that the same as Sympathy for Mr. Vengance? If so, fucking A+++ movie. Awesome.

No.... there different movies with the same director but both kick ass.

If you haven't seen oldboy, or any on the vengance movies you aint living.

[j00ni3]

im korean... i dont' know these movies...
mainly because... korean titles are so different... ( with a few exceptions )

[Irukandji]

Sympathy for Lady Vengance? Is that the same as Sympathy for Mr. Vengance? If so, fucking A+++ movie. Awesome.


Mr. Vengeance, Lady Vengeance, and Old Boy are all part of a trilogy but aren't exactly all connected

[CaoBoY]

friend. one of the most awesome korean gangster movies ever. there was another one, about hitmen, which was hilarious but i dont remember what the name of it was.

also...a tale of 2 sisters, creepy scary stuff.

[sushimonster]

once upon a time in high school
wet dreams 2 is the funniest korean movie

[k0uki]

attack the gas station was hilarious, especially with the guy who regulates with the block of wood, i think it was a block of wood or a bat dunno its been a while

[PF_Doom]

Hahah, korean dramas are down. I think Windstruck is better than My Sassy Girl, but I have both of them anyway. Attack the Gas Station was a good one too. Has anyone seen the movie Red Light Green Light? I forgot if it was Korean or HK, but that one was my favorite.
