Memories of Murder (another korean masterpiece)

[TheGodling]

It's been awhile since I've seen it but I remember thinking that it was a fantastic movie.

Somebody needs to just make an Official Korean Films Thread.

Great movie btw. Bong Joon-Ho stays underrated as one of the big three (Park Chan-Wook and Kim Jee-Woon) but this, Madeo (Mother) and Gwoemul (The Host) are all fukking great.

This movie, Mother, and I Saw the Devil are all crack.


ESPECIALLY I Saw the Devil IMO. That shyt is fantastic

 

[kingdarius]

what are some other good ones?

korean flicks i've liked:

oldboy/lady vengeance/mr vengeance
the man from nowhere
chaser
no mercy
new world
the good the bad the weird
a tale of two sisters


anything else i should peep soon?

"I saw the Devil" was incredible. It litterally left me speechless from the sheer violence to the stunning twists.
"A bittersweet life" is a good flick too with the same lead actor. It's the kinda of classy noir gangster movie and I recommend you to watch it before "I saw the Devil" which is the best SoKorean movie I've seen to date

There is also "The Yellow Sea" also known as "The Murderer" from the same dude that did "The Chaser"... Well if you liked the latter, you will also like it. They both quality.

I liked "Mother" even if I was disappointed (a little too slow in my mind)

We should definitely have an official South Korean movies thread because people missing out on those. Good directors 4im trying to follow :

Hong-jin Na : The Chaser, The Yellow Sea
Kim Jee-woon : I Saw the Devil, A bittersweet life, The Good, the Bad and the Weird
Park Chan-wook : The Vengeance trilogy, Joint Security Area
Bong Joon-ho : Mother, Memories of Murder, The Host

Hell, I'm trying to watch 90% of the films listed here : List of best Korean movies

 

[Tikal]

Koreans got the crime/thriller/drama movies on lock
Everybody has already mentioned all the good movies and I def co-sign A dirty Carnival.

One movie which hasn't been mentioned though is Thirst, it's a vampire flick but with a different take on the whole theme. I liked it but I know it's not for everyone.

Oh yeah, I need to see that New World looks like my kind of flick
