Does anyone have an Essential /SouthKorea/ Core list? I've already seen the Oldboy and OP, what are some other films?

>>79487989
Memories of Murder and Mr Vengeance are the best Korean movies I've seen.

>>79487989
Haven't seen much, but MoM combines comedy and serious drama better than any other movie I've ever seen.

Mother

>>79488174
I don't know why but I love The Host. Always loved the monster design

>>79488174
>The Host
Didn't like it. I loved Memories of Murder, and Mother was pretty great too.

>>79488177
Is this The man From Nowhere? I downloaded it yesterday but it turned out to be the dubbed version

The yellow sea is 10/10

I watch anything with Lee Beom-soo in it.

Every time someone posts about MoM, I want to rewatch it.

The Admiral: Roaring Currents also deserves a mention.

>>79488109
Mother, Thirst
haven't seen that many

>>79488174

The Host is Kino or at least Great flick tier if you are Korean and understand all the references and cultural nods. it is very satirical and has elements of a modern day comedy of manners.

The OPs post is the essential list. Once this South Korean fad dies nobody will remember all the other b-movie revenge trash.

the host is awful, acting is fine but plot and dialog are so bad

A Girl At My Door is never mentioned but it was pretty good.

why are they obsessed with revenge?

>>79488692
>tfw watching the 50fps version

>>79488177

Can't believe this guy was the son from Mother lol

>>79488513

>>79488649

other than that it's a pretty decent list

>>79488837
is Miracle in Cell Number 7 really a must see? It's never brought up in these threads and I've only ever heard it mentioned by a westernized Korslut.

Thought it was illegal.

Examples? I also thought that it seemed just like a monster film.
I expected some great twist but there really wasn't one. Do I really have to have such a knowledge of Korean culture to truly appreciate it?

Never seen anyone talk about this, its pretty good.

I flew on a Korean Air flight a few months ago and watched a movie about four friends who go on some kind of vacation as young men (Japan, I think?) and they see some guy beating up his girlfriend so they try to stop him and end up killing him or something. They end up getting interrogated by the police but that's all I really remember.

Then I watched one about some star prosecutor who ended up in prison with all the people he put away. Anyone remember the name of that?

And I vaguely remember a bit of a movie that was about a guy who lied about all his success (going to a nice school and shit) and ended up getting found out by his fiancée's family and somehow involved the politicians of Korea or something.

Anyone know the name of these?

>>79488154
The one set in a hotel room, filmed with a static shot, where the guy is on top of the skinny girl with black hair and it ends in less than 10 minutes.

Pieta is legit 10/10.
