Oh, and the Asian version of "The Eye" and "The Eye 2", both very good and actually quite scary.
How’s Police Story?
This thread is full of so much awesome and win. I’m sorry I didn’t find it sooner. Asian movies are really all I watch now. I saw "Bullet & Brain" not too long ago.

Zatoichi
Trailer ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F_zjwDPLPk
Awesome movie.
I prefer the originals. Shintaro Katsu created such a unique character with his Zatoichi, but I think Takeshi played him just like any other samurai (besides being blind, I mean). I can understand someone who isn’t a big weepy sap like me preferring the remake over the sentimental originals, though. My favorite’s "Fight, Zatoichi, Fight!"

Hahah, obviously you haven’t seen "Vengeance is Mine" or "The Seven Samurai"
Those are great films.
I own it. A very interesting movie! and… violent. haha.
A ZOMBIE MUSICAL???!!!! I MUST SEE THIS!!!!!
Yashamaru from Shinobi: Heart Under Blade
Miike also tried to adapt Koroshiya Ichi : Ichi the killer ….. very strange and disturbing. But not good IMO
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_of_Gamblers
I can’t seem to find a trailer for this. I searched it on youtube and apparently they have the full movie.
The movie was alright but I’ve seen better, Ichi is not the best film made by Miike :p

Now that’s an experience
<p>This one, however, is.
Thats just their gift I suppose and america will try and remake every scary movie they make.
why? who knows. I wish fatal frame would become a movie…
If you’re looking for some drama, I’d recommend this one.
<img src=http://www.cinemotions.net/data/films/0293/45/1/affiche-Skyhigh-Sky-High-2003-1.jpg>
I have a few others, but this one is the most dramatic in my opinion. Here’s a good gangster one IMO.
<img src=http://www.cine-east.com/catalog/images/fudoh.jpg>
the ones i remembr are JUON , zatoichi (the movie), RAN.
i have also seen some chinese films, like the original undubbed version of the nightraiders (or something like that, dont know the name in english… along with the taiwanese serial) kung fu hustle, shaolin soccer, and warriors of heaven and earth.
Watched tons of asian films this year as I went a bit mad on it (again.)
Favourite is Memories of Murder (S Korea) – same director who later made The Host.
Best undiscovered gem that does not get mentioned enough is Save the Green Planet – one of the most entertaining genre hopping bonkers films you will ever see with a great score also.
All of the Park vengeance films (favourite is Sympathy for Mr Vengeance.) Plus his earlier Joint Security Area.
Really like Tsukamoto’s stuff up to Vital. Particularly like Gemini but Vital was pretty damn impressive too.
Keep an eye out for a film called One Nite in Mongkok (their spelling.) It has a tremendous plot that keeps building, climaxing with a devastating sequence of violence that just goes on and on and leaves you desperately upset. Stunning film.

Is Sky High a Korean movie or Chinese movie? It is fantasy love story ?
Sky High is actually a Japanese film.
The synopsis:
A serial killer and his henchwoman — looking to create a supernatural cataclysm for evil ends — literally rip the heart out of Mina (Yumiko Shaku), who’s engaged to Kanzaki (Shosuke Tanihara) οΏ½ the detective investigating the bizarre string of homicides. But the gumshoe gets more than he bargained for when he hunts down Mina’s murderers and finds his dead fiancοΏ½e trapped in a ghostly state of limbo in director Ryuhei Kitamura’s stylish flick.

Kurosawa is my favorite director and The Hidden Fortress is one of his best. You can look at my avatar π
This movie is also the most lightest and funny of Kurosawa movies, with much humour and adventure.
Throne of Blood is a very good adaptation of a Shakespeare novel, with a solid interpretation by Toshiro Mifune (his best from him in my opinion is still on Seven Samurai), but if you want to see a better adaptation from a Shakespeare tragedy, and probably the Magnum opus of Kurosawa filmwork, go watch Ran.
It is the polar opposite of the lightness on The Hidden Fortress. This is a deep and devastating drama. It is so nihilistic that after you finish the film, you’ll lose your faith in humanity (humanism is afterall the main thematic on Kurosawa films), and begin to question our motivations and human condition. For that alone it is rewarding to watch this film. Note also the cinematography in this film and the use of bright lights and vivid colours, due to the fact that Kurosawa was almost blind in his late years.
Another movie similar in visual style and scope of Ran is Kagemusha. Who thanks to George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola that help to produce this movie (on that time Kurosawa was suffering from a depression that he even attempt suicide, and totally ignored by the Japanese movie studios and criticized by movie critics), but albeit inferior to Ran in my opinion.
And these are in my opinion his best movies:
– Rashomon
– Ikiru
– Seven Samurai
– The Hidden Fortress
– Kagemusha
– Ran
I didn’t included Dersu Uzala because i haven’t watched this movie yet, so i don’t have any opinion about it, but seems to be a very good one too.
Oh my god yes I’d almost forgotten about that one.

Good news everyone!
TCM is playing a huge selection of his movies.
http://www.tcm.com/thismonth/article/?cid=235852&mainArticleId=290029
I’ll be watching Seven Samurai ^^
Along with those 2 I’ve so far seen Ikaru, High and Low, Throne of Blood, & Hidden Fortress.
Unfortunately TCM didn’t play Ran and Kagemusha but I did record most of the movies excluding the last ones that aired at past 4am.
I guess this film needs no introduction.
My BD caps(also shown at AVS forum):
Verdict: BUY IT!
I tought it s.. oh well.. i tought other movies were better..
I saw recently 20 century boys .. all 3 parts.. interesting movie. I liked the psihological part of the movie π
Oldboy and The Bird People of China are excellent too.
Have there been any good Asian horror movies recently? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen any new ones and I am really in the mood for a scary movie.

How similar are Japonese horror movies to American ones? Do they use the same conventions and cliche’s often?
Definitely see Ran, it’s one of the most powerful works of Asian directing and probably his masterpiece in my opinion (I’ve seen quite a bit of his work). Dreams (also by Kurasawa) is also very good. I’d recommend Sanjuro and Yojimbo (earlier works of Kurasawa’s) too, but they’re not quite at the level of Ran or Dreams.
I’m also sort of a fan of the Vengeance trilogy by Korean director Park Chan wook, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance being my favorite of the three.
What the good doctor said, pretty much! I’m a fan of all kinds of horror movies, but American horror movies are very rarely genuinely scary, while I get creeped out by Asian horror all the time. It might be because I’m more used to all the tropes of American horror, but I agree that they’re definitely more atmospheric. Asian horror often does more Lovecraftian type horror too, which strongly appeals to me.
Strangely enough, one of the few American horror movies in recent years that really shook me up was our remake of Ringu. I think they actually did a better job atmosphere-wise than the original, and had a better ending too, although the Sadako in the American version can’t even begin to compare to the one in the original. I wish someone would combine the two movies!

I really liked the first Saw but just the first. And I also prefer the more lovecraft like horror ’cause giant heavy breathing guy with a sharp weapon seems kinda easy of heard coming and kill.
Awesome thread! I haven’t seen many asian movies, but I’m going to start watching some! I’m starting with Seven Samurai, Hardboiled, and Shinobi. I plan to watch more Akira Kurosawa movies as he seems to be very highly praised.
A petty you didn’t start a few months ago; It was Kurasowa’s birthday and TCM did a whole month of his movies. I recorded a lot of them.

Takeshi Kitano is a director worth watching. Sometimes called "Beat" Takeshi. He was the tutor in Battle Royale, but he’s a great actor/writer/director as well.
