Old Boy. One of the trippiest and coolest movies I have ever seen. It is very well directed and includes great actors. However, the response I get from others are pretty polar: they either absolutely love it or think it's too freaky.

Funny Romance- All three of these movies are funny romances in which the girl and the boy are always fighting at first. I love this type of romance comedy a lot. =)
100 Days With Mr. Arrogant
And I Hate You So
My Tutor Friend
Adrenaline Drive (more action-y, included stolen money and wacky yakuzas)

Romance- the slower, sadder, more melancholic type
Harmonium in My Memory
A Moment To Remember (tearjerker)
Only You Can Hear Me (tearjerker)
Densha Otoko

Other
LoveCom- the cutest adaption of an anime turned movie I've ever seen. ^o^ It's a romance comedy too.
Jibeuro: The Way Home- super recommended! I loved it so much. What a sweet story...(tearjerker)
10 Promises To My Dog- very cute pet movie. I really liked the concept of the promises. The ending was great b/c of it. =) (tearjerker)
Battle Royale- Bloody, action. But the concept is intriguing.
Linda Linda Linda- School life, slice of life movie. 4 girls try to put together a band a few days before the culture festival. Loved the song~

And those are all the asian movies I've watched so far that I liked enough to recommend. =)

국가대표... I'm not sure what the English title is... National Athlete, I guess? It was recently released in Korea but it was very good. I recommend this movie when it is available for download here.
Silmido, For Horowitz (a real tear jerker), Dirty Carnival, The Chaser, Memories of Murder

That's all I can think of right now. Yeah, I like action/thriller. :<

Mmmmm, maybe Naoko? Haruma Miura is like, the best actor ever.
His acting in that movie was suburb. So for that reason, Naoko is the best for me.

;D

^Agreed 100%, though all my friends find it too creepy.

The Vengeance-trilogy is brilliant and among the best Asian movies I've seen. I can also recommend Battle Royale, Hero (visually stunning), Fist of Legend, Ichi the Killer, Fearless and Casshern.

My Sassy Girl- My favourite asian movie. The female lead is strong and sassy and I just look up to her. This movie has an amazing blend of comedy and a light love story.

-My Sassy Girl.
-Nana (I haven't seen the 2nd one).
-God of Gambler (Parodies because they were hilarious)
-Waterboys (Cute, light, and just ridiculously funny)
-Howl's Moving Castle (Amazing)
-5 Centimeters per Second.
-Love of Siam (This is by far the most interesting movie out of all, at the same time, it can relate to literally every single person in this world.)
-I would put the Hana Yori Dango movie finale (Japanese one), but the thing about it is that it's a continuation of the drama, and not a stand-alone movie. However, yes, it was amazing as well. So I can't really call it a movie, more like a special.

-L For Love L For Lies starring Alex For and Stephy Tang
-Virgin Snow starring Lee Junki and it's a beautiful movie
-My Sassy Girl starring Jeon JiHyun and it is hilarious
-1 Liter of Tears, the title says it all
-High Kick, another hilarious movie thathas Kim Dongwan in it
-Antique Bakery starring Joo JiHoon. It's a queerish movie, but hilarious.

Jay is still here in our heart.



Will Always Love Cho KyuHyun of Super Junior.

Definitely My Sassy Girl, it really lighthearted and funny... not too deep of a movie, but it makes you feel good, I could probably watch it over and over again.
