Oldboy was a better film, no argument there - but I kinda liked the way this film was a slow-burning build up to the pay-off, I think it sort of matches the way the main character goes about getting her revenge - very methodical and pre-meditated. Oldboy was just a shock to the senses from start to finish!

While we're talking about Korean films - anyone seen Brotherhood? It's been called the Korean 'Saving Private Ryan' because of the way it's filmed, but it's way better!

Manos: The Hands of Fate
The Puma Man
Hobgoblins
The Brain That Wouldn’t Die
Samson vs. The Vampire Women
Earth vs. The Spider
Radar Men From the Moon

Oh yes!

Current fave is Clerks II

My top list is kinda like this:

Clerks I & II
Chasing Amy
The world's fastest Indian
Motorcycle diaries
Hedwig and the angry inch
Taxi Driver
Brick
Hard Candy
Harsh Times
Full Metal Jacket
The Crying Game
Breakfast On Pluto
Jarhead
American History X
Fight Club
Way of the Gun
Requiem for a Dream
Magnolia

Oooh good thread.

After looking through my External Hard Drive (nearly hit 300 films woo) I would choose the following:

Grave of the fireflies
Spirited Away
The Pianist
Mulholland Drive
Man on Fire
Cool Hand Luke
Garden State
United states of Leland
Requim for a Dream
The Constant Gardener
The Notebook (I love the story, acting is brill)

I tend to like poignant films, one's that make you think. I am a fan of good old blood n' gore and have loads of comedies but primarily, I want to take soemthing away from a film (bit cheesey I know)

I watch all my films on my projector and decent home cinema amp so it makes ANY crap film, good. (apart from "date movie"....<<shudder>>)

Law - Ghost dog - Ace film, Forrest's best film.

EDIT - Just noticed Northwinds, funny that we have 2 not so popular films in our lists!

I also got the book Hagakure (dunno where it is now) which the film had quotes of. Was very interesting to read into the samurai philosophy and conduct.
