 |
|
Does anyone have suggestions for good Korean movies I can rent at the video store?
I have seen some that I really loved so far: (I don't have Hangul on my keyboard)
The King and the Clown
Marathon
Lady of Vengence
I really loved all these movies. Any others to recomend? |

The best by far:
Sympathy for Mr Vengeance
JSA
Oldboy
(If you look on YouTube, you can actually find some K-movies with English subs.)
I would also encourage watching some K-dramas. I liked All-In best. |

Also the film you must avoid at all costs (if you like horrors that is) is:
The phone
Ranks up there as one of the worst films Ive seen. Of all time. |

On DVD, they were everywhere (I have a copy), not sure now. To download, I have no idea. |

Wet Dreams 2 is pretty good for an Korean take on the grossout comedy.
Bad Guy and Phone are two of the worst movies I have ever seen. |

| How do you say "Spring,Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring" and "Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance" in Korean? I'd like to ask my video store owner if she has them... |

That was a lame attempt at a B-action flick. |

| Is there any place where one can get a copy of Whispering Corridors? I'd like to watch the series in order. |
