and i'm about to watch OASIS right after thissssssss....

it'smylife... please do some research about contemporary hollywood movies before criticizing korean movies. you do know that most hollywood movies are made for MONEY, right? and most of the movies are straightforward, not thought provoking at all. i mean it's entertaining and all but you forget about it after few hours. as for contemporary korean movies, not all korean movies, it is all about it's originality. check your movie listing, do you see any movies that is something new which has never been done before by million directors??? thats what i thought...

but ya,

i recently watched;
memories of murder: awesome
3-iron: awesome acting!!! great theme and symbolism
windstruck
welcome to dongkomal

Even Hollywood is inspired by korean movies thats why they are coming up with remake of " My sassy girl" romantic comedy based on true story.

Best Koean movies:
OLDBOY: won Grand prix award at Cannes Film Festival
MY SASSY GIRL: a mega- blockbuster romantic comedy based on true story "one of best romantic comedy movie"
R-POINT: One of the best horror movie about vietnam war
BROTHERHOOD OF WAR: About postwar how two brother separate and eventually meet at the battlefield
SYMPATHY FOR MR VENGEANCE: best movie 2002
SYMPATHY FOR LADY VENGEANCE: From the director of OLDBOY but failed to win award at cannes Film festival.

It'sMyLife,
you need to get a life bro. you went from Bollyhoowd to Hollyhood, you're blow away and you think it's the best. Nepal ma pani PAAKHEY, yeta ayo pheri PAAKHEY. Watch some Spanish,French, and some East Asian (Chinese, Jap, Korean) movies and make a conscious decision.
Ritten,
Eat Drink Man, it Aang Lee's movie (the one who got an Oscar recently)which is more Taiwanese and the spanish remix version is called Tortilla Soup.

Bob Marley: YOU need to get a wife crow. You went from stinking ass hole to hell.but you aren't blown away.and go f uck your bollywhoowd whores. Bollywood is a piece of shit. you dead ass.and I am not gonna watch koreans movies just because you said so. Get a wife crow.

Love korean movies too...... one of my favourites is: My Sassy Girl ..... if you guys didnt know, the same director made Windstruck which is supposedly the prequel to My Sassy Girl .....OldBoy was awesome too....' Zinda' is the bollywood version of it.

I used to watch korean movies from www.slientregrets.com anybody know any other sites?

Lady Vengeance was a good one too.

I should look for Sympathy for Mr Vengeance....looks like a lotta pple liked it here in the forum.

Any other suggestions for korean/asian movies??

dc_virus: you need to watch sympathy for mr vengeance. this movie is so good that you feel the characters emotion. just a great movie. you should also watch;
3-iron: the guy character doesn't say a word, the girl character says two sentences... great acting and movie!!!
bittersweet life: stylish movie..
and all the movies other guys have mentioned above. you won't waste your time...

i think hollywood loves the actress from MY SASSY girl because its remaking 3 of her films and have already remade 1. remade IL MARE to THE LAKE HOUSE and they are remaking My sassy girl, Daisy, and maybe windstruck. they are also remaking THE TALE OF TWO SISTERS, oldboy, the poisoning, the host???, failan, and many others...


i usually get the movies from www.warez-bb.org using rapidshare, if i can't find them there then i use torrents, and if i can't find it anywhere then i use EMULE... i'm pretty sure that i will buy most of them on dvds when i have enough money



itsallmylife, quit it dude. if you can't appreciate movies from other cultures then be so. don't come in here and shit all over this fun topic. thank you...

What's Your View on Hollywood Remaking Asian Movies?
Submitted by amtee on Sun, 06/17/2007 - 1:24pm.

Hollywood has been making terrible movies lately from my opinion. What annoys me is that because of their lack of creativity in a good storyline, they go overseas and buy the copyrights from the top selling Asian movies so they can remake it. Now its just not Hollywood I'm blaming. It's the genius behind it. But the point is: Are the remakes even great as the original? Why not just show the original and put subtitles? Obviously, not to be stereotypical, but Americans don't like reading subtitles, its not that difficult is it?! Sure Holly wood benefits from this, and the Asian producers benefit a bit, but at a much lower rate. Examples of movies that have been remade/or will be remade are:

Ju-on
Shall We Dance
Infernal Affairs --> The Departed
The Ring
The Eye
Il Mare --> The Lake House
Dark Water
My Sassy Girl [in production]
I'm against a remake of My Sassy Girl!! It will not be as great as the original
because it doesn't have an impact as it did on Korean films.
My Wife is a Gangster
Oldboy [Won in the Film Festival]
Battle Royale
Failan
Priest (based on Korean manga)
In Between Days
Breath
The Go Master
I'm A Cyborg But Thats Ok
Windstruck
Daisy
The Echo
A Tale of Two Sisters

The reason why I dislike the idea of remaking Asian Top Movies is because it simply steals away the originality of those movies and the time spent to create it. Can't Hollywood producers come up with their own movies?! Its about time for new directors and producers in the Hollywood scene. Another reason is, the remakes doesn't have the same settings and social circumstances. It loses its beauty and aesthetic.

I agree a remake of "My Sassy Girl" will not be as great as the original. For those who wants a real entertainment have to watch Korean My sassy Girl.

my sassy girl made me laugh, cry, sad, and happy... an awesome movie...

i think i will end up watching my sassy girl american version =D


have you guys watched SAD MOVIE???

or ...ing???

Another awesome romantic comedy movie from the director of "MY SASSY GIRL","WINDSTRUCK" everyone says its prequel of MSG.It makes sense that ending part of WINDSTRUCK is the begining part of MY SASSY GIRL. almost made me cry....... LOL

windstruck is not a prequel tho. the director just threw in his previous work to bring back some memories? but ya, there are barely any connections between this movies...

i recently watched;
sex is zero: korean version of american pie
attack the gas station
and a japanese movie: ping pong

have anyone seen my wife is a gangster 3 and my boss, my hero. good movies though... love em...

Hey Shakeen, I've watched 3 Iron ... thought it was good....Sad movie, which I thought was good too *although i thought it was a lil trying too hard to make it sad). Windstruck and My Sassy girl, althought the mathematics does not really match up well, the director has left some minor clues to make it seem like a prequel. I think anybody who liked My Sassy Girl would love Windstruck too althought the former is better.

In My Sassy girl, some things I noticed:
>> SPOILER WARNING IF YOU HAVENT WATCHED MY SASSY GIRL >>

Throughout the movie, they never say what the name of the girl is.
The old man the girl sees towards the end of the movie next to the time capsule, is supposedly GwenWoo (i dont know how you spell his name) travelling back in time after he gets old. If you look closely throughout the movie, you can see the old man in various locations. One of them is when they meet for the first time in the train, the old man is seen in the train. (supposedly gwenwoo travelling through time, revisiting his memorable moments)

>>>>End of Spoiler>>>>>>>>>>>

On all the korean movies I've watched I liked Sassy gurl the most....thought it was really well made, simple and full of everything.

I recently watched a Korean movie called: Sex is Zero

I had never laughed that hard since watching American Pie.

Not exactly a family movie, but it is side-splitting hilarious.

wow dc_virus ................ u know lot of detail
i did not noticed that ............. in my sassy girl ......thats y i wonder y the girl used to talk about future

and riten
sex is zero is whole lotta fun
u sud also try my sexy teacher .......... u will certainly laugh a lot

among the romantic ones.............i will recommned millionaire's first love but almost every korean movies have romance in it
and it really touches

Have u watch "Daisy" same actress from My Sassy Girl & from the Director of Infernal Affairs which was also remake by hollywood The Departed.
