The Yellow Sea

A New World
Vengeance Trilogy (Oldboy, Mr Vengeance, Lady V..)
A Tale of Two Sisters

Train to Busan if you're not tired of zombies yet. Even if you are, it's fun.

A Dirty Carnival

>>81460039
are you okay?

>>81460039
He didn't even say kino you spastic.

>>81459874
I've seen OP's, memories, chaser, and handmaiden and I think OP's is the best overall. I hated how dull the Memories of Murder ending was. I know not everything has a happy ending but it irritated me so much. best part of Handmaiden was the cinematography, I don't really like gay movies. I haven't seen Oldboy in a long time so I can't compare them. But yeah, devil is probably my favorite.

Some good ones already named

The Man From Nowhere
The Good, the Bad, the Weird
The Host
Snowpiercer (in English, but Korean director and I think it was first released in South Korea before coming to the US)

>>81460096

Really enjoyed this

>>81461594
It was good and fresh but I had kinda mixed feelings about it.

>>81461634
I was probably quite forgiving as frankly I've been starved of good crime films. Koreans seem to be the only ones still making them

>>81459845
Train to Busan is a really good korean zombie movie.

>>81461745
true, but i guess even the korean cinema goes towards hollywood trash- vide: the suspect

>>81461756
It is. Check out Seoul Station. Its hard to compare but its worth watching

>>81459845
Not well versed in Korean movies, but The Man From Nowhere was great (as some other anons have mentioned).

Is their zombie movie any good?

>>81460159
>I hated how dull the Memories of Murder ending was

No way, it was amazing.

He reckoned he could tell if someone was guilty by looking into their eyes, and in real life the killer was never caught, so he looks into the audience.

That's nuts.

>>81462136
Train to Busan is surprisingly quite good. But you need to start with low expectations

>>81460159

I watched Eungyo. I didn't like the ending
WHY DID SHE FUG THE YOUNG DUDE??? THAT WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF NOWHERE. NOT THAT IT MAKES SENSE FOR HER TO FUG THE OLD GUY BUT THAT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE

>>81462344
are you being sarcastic or what? It did make a sense from her point of view and it didnt from his. It was quite simple love story.

>>81463143
That actress, Kim Ok-Bin, is my waifu. Both movies are great, the Wailing has nothing in common with Thirst. Nothing at all. To call it a copy is retarded.

>>81465188
>black comedy based on a supernatural force
no. nothing in common because wailing was a fucking failure. Thirst was almost a kino. Also that ending.

>>81459845
Thriller: the chaser
Zombies: train to busan
Feels: Hope

A Tale of Two Sisters tries to do two twist endings at the same time, and fails because of it.

The Wailing was just shitty overall, with its overly-complicated plot and moronic characters. "The ghost woman was evil all along and the Jap was good! j/k, you had it right the first time . The Jap is a demon!"

I Saw the Devil, The Chaser, and The Wailing make South Korean police look like complete retards. There's incompetence and then there's stupidity so severe that a movie's plot can't stand on its own without it.

What the fuck was the point of Snowpiercer? "Life sucks on this train for the lower class, so let's kill almost EVERYBODY and live in the freezing cold!" I'd rather have a meh life on the train than be dead.

>>81465528
whoa whoa whoa. Keep your dirty hands off Showpiercer, ok?

>>81463756
Why not both?

>>81465584
my nigger

>A Tale of Two Sisters tries to do two twist endings at the same time, and fails because of it.

Wrong. It had 3 twists. All done brilliantly.
1, The little sister was dead
2, The evil stepmom wasn't evil, because
3, It was all in her head. The entire movie is just her and her Dad coping with the loss of her Mother and Sister, which the girl blames ion the Stepmom

Most people don't get the 3rd twist, and it's why they don't get it.

>>81459845
They are also good at melodrama, comedy, soft core porn, and costume period.

>>81465637
>Wrong. It had 3 twists. All done brilliantly.

You know what, I forgot about the little sister twist. All I remembered was the "it was all in her head" twist and the "it was all real" twist. Using both was fucking stupid. The little sister twist was only icing on the shit-script cake.

All of the supernatural shit was just a delusion, BUT the step-mother was attacked by a spooky ghost, meaning that it was real all along. Either go with one twist or the other. Combining both makes me not give a shit about the story.

The father cop guy in The wailing is a guy I recently recognized in the last three movies.
He looks like a bad guy always and the wailing is the first time I saw him playing a good guy

>>81465748
>The father cop guy in The wailing is a guy I recently recognized in the last three movies.
>He looks like a bad guy always and the wailing is the first time I saw him playing a good guy

He was probably the most incompetent, cowardly and idiotic cop I have ever seen depicted in a non-comedic film. He also got his family and himself killed for no reason. Calling him a "good guy" is a stretch.

>>81465728
Watch it again knowing that only the Dad and girl are in the house. It's fucking sad. You think the Dad's a dick for allowing it to happen, when in reality he's going mental because his daughter is having a nervous breakdown.

Shit's poetic. Probably my favourite Korean movie bar Memories Of Murder.

>>81459845
The Man from Nowhere - sad but not as sad as I Saw the Devil

New World - This was fun yet serious with great characters and a neat ending

A Bittersweet Life - The ending is a bit wishy washy but a good revenge flick, less fleshing out of the characters than New World

koreans are dogs

Who else thinks that Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring was an utter shit

>>81459845
Ajeossi, go fucking watch it.

Ddongpari also.

>>81465528
Snowpiercer is his take on gnosticism and how society will have to progress to survive, we have to go sideways instead of blindly rushing towards the front of the train, that's just a trap

>>81459845
I've only seen three Korean movies
Barking dogs never bite
Snowpiercer
The quiet family
I'd watch them all again

And Brotherhood of war
Which was really good

>>81466228
I love korean movies, but thats the only movie during which i fell asleep after 10 minuts

>>81466270
There's some stuff that seems to always make me drowsy, about twenty to thirty minutes into every Shakespeare I've ever seen on stage I always want to drop off for that ten minute period, and frisky dingo too, every time

So I actually would like to buy these korean crime movies on bluray, with eng subs. But I dont seem to find them anywhere. Does anyone know any online store where I could order the directly?

>>81466203
>Barking dogs never bite
I thought this was hilarious.

My vote goes to No tears for the dead. That car scene

This guy gets it. Some fantastic camera work as well. Ex the truck ramming and the bloody elevator fadeout with lit up city night at the background.

>>81472623
I disagree, but again I like a little bit of everything.

>>81472822
Me to, but you must admit that without bloody movies korean cinema wouldnt have become so popular

>>81472926
idk I never head of most of these movies till the essential Korean film list got posted. I started with romance movies like Married to the mafia series and went on from there.

>>81473014
so you arent a victim of the Oldboy meme?

>>81465528
My understanding is that South Korean police really are that fucking terrible.

>>81472592
He does make good stuff though, it'll probably be pretty good.

>>81459845
Some stuff that doesn't always get mentioned
A hard day
New world
Whistle blower (not standard Korean revenge thriller but very good)
Inside men
A dirty carnival
The thieves (more comedy than thriller)
Veteran
The Berlin file

And Going by the Book isn't a revenge thriller but is the peak of koreakino

confession of murder

No, I honestly only seen it recently and already knew the ending. I also kinda hate those type of ending every since pic related.

>>81465793
You have good taste, anon. The movie scared the hell out of me the first time I saw it because of the final reveal. My dad had pneumonia at the time and he started choking in the night and I didn't check on him because I didn't know what choking really sounded like. He's fine now, but I now have a deep fear of inadvertently allowing someone to die because I didn't intervene.

>>81473300
I havent seen it desu

>>81473176
That is a meme steam from too many Mob films.

>>81473419

It's a bit more complex than police being terrible, there is a cultural mistrust of governmental authority that stems from cases like the ones you mentioned, which are obliquely referenced in MoM and The Host. Despite what Americans would have you believe about east Asians, South Korea has a pretty intense history of unrest. The student protests in particular have been extremely idealistic and violent.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Student_movements_in_Korea

>>81473502
Isn't that pretty much similar to the Zodiac killer tho? It's not really a great example of everyday policing. I mean the crime rate is super low. If police sucked wouldn't be high. They are super lazy. Almost all traffic crime is done though machine.

>>81473752
Oh, I didn't mean to simplify so much, but it is fair to say that I don't know much about South Korea's history.

Which of you pleb is into Hong Sang-soo movies?

>>81473776
Fair point.

>>81474032
I have a weird thing for Lee Beom-soo if that counts.

>>81474108
yeah.. no it doesnt

>>81459845
Memories of Murder
Oldboy
Handmaiden
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
Lady Vengeance
Mother
The Host
Tale of two sisters
Train to Busan
The Wailing

These are the ones I have seen so far, and most of them are really good especially Memories of Murder, and Oldboy.

>>81473752
Also forgot to mention a couple things about MoM. Song Kang-Ho's character refers to himself as a "country cop" or something similar to distinguish himself from the newcomer. Song's character always wants to do things his own way, even if he has to bend the rules or even if he is flat out wrong. It's my personal theory that his small abuses of power in the village can be magnified to represent the unchecked abuses of the Korean government of its own people within this timeframe. I always like to think that his haunting final stare into the camera at the end of the movie also shows recognition of his own guilt in destroying so many lives for absolutely nothing, and there is a lot to be said for both him and the Korean authorities only being able to face up to their mistakes decades later.

I don't count movie, but I've been watching korean films for the last 6 years. I've recently switched over to korean drama's.

>>81473259
Which wasn't directed by wingard.
Blair witch was kind of shit, but I think the guy who made You're Next could do a pretty good remake of I Saw the Devil, as long as he doesn't have the studio riding him.

>>81474519
I guess I have only seen about 8 movies in all from the land of Korea. Most of them are okay, with the Vengeance trilogy, and Memories of Murder being my favorites. I still need to see Handmaiden, Mother, and I Saw the Devil.

>>81474843
I get that. The one I get people to Watch is Protect the Boss. My favorite is You're Beautiful, because it was unintentionally homoerotic.
