Bonus stuff is fun, but as always no subs (still some interesting stuff in there like the deleted scenes). Loved the weta featurette where you could hear Noami Watts scream all the time in the background and everybody ignores this  |

| | Posted: | | | | Hi xradman,
Great list you have there, you've covered almost all the essential Korean films!!
If anybody out there hasn't taken time to watch a Korean film, watch some of the ones on his list. They really are better than anything that the US studios have put out lately.
xradman, I'd suggest a couple more for your list
- 3-Iron (A Kim Ki-duk movie)
- Arahan (fantasy)
- The Coast Guard (very underrated IMHO)
- Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring (another Kim Ki-duk movie)
- Fighter in the Wind (based on the life of Choi Bae-dal)
- Untold Scandal (WAY better than the US version Dangerous Liasons)
- R-Point (for some reason Koreans make excellent war movies)
- The Foul King (action comedy about a wrestler)
- Sex is Zero (sort of like an American Pie movie) |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm gonna second schultzy. Save The Green Planet deserves a guernsey.
Korean movies in my collection:
Bichunmoo - I'm terrible at remembering specifics of movies (good for rewatchability), but I recall this one being a good fantasy film.
JSA - unseen and already listed
Oseam - COME ON! Why is this not listed?
The Quiet Family - Unseen but probably not suitable for a snobby essentials list.
Save the Green Planet! - Genre-spanning, highly acclaimed and downright nuts. It should be in there.
Shadowless Sword - Received this today, still unseen.
Spider Forest - Unseen
Volcano High - Has had success overseas, is accessible. What exactly makes something "essential" anyway?
Wonderful Days - Even at the height of my anime-watching days, this stood out. It's absolutely stunning, and for that alone deserves a place in the list.
I did own Arahan, but didn't like it so handballed it along to someone else. | | | | Adelaide Movie Buffs (info on special screenings, contests, bargains, etc. relevant to Adelaideans... and contests/bargains for other Aussies too!) |

| | Posted: | | | | BTW I watched The Host again the weekend, great flick IMHO. What I cannot get my head around however, what does "seo-ri" actually mean? Okay, from the context I would say it has something to do with stealing food to avoid starving (  ) but what does it really mean? |
