South Korean movies of 2006: Help!!! - the Prequel

Postby Mike Thomason » Fri Apr 20, 2007 2:49 am

I had a brainwave last night in relation to my prior thread...

http://hkmdb.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=46673

...and realised that it's not much good to put up such a big ask if no-one is aware of my relative tastes in Korean cinema. Thusly, I have produced a list of the current Korean movies I have on DVD in my little library at home in the (possibly vague) hope that this may assist in producing responses to above topic in the long-run.

Titles marked with an asterisk remain unwatched as of this writing; titles in bold were the ones I enjoyed/liked/was entertained by/took something positive away from the viewing experience.

Ha! I've just realised that I've liked virtually everything I've seen (in one fashion or another -- some might not be ultra-high on the scale [as I don't believe in assigning "score cards" to films like some kind of sporting event] but they certainly held some entertainment or enjoyment value regardless of whatever their flaws may have been). Anyways, I hope this helps people give further pointers in the original thread. :)

I am jealous of your SK collection :-D.

I really, really liked Save The Green Planet (most of the SK movies I have watched I have really enjoyed except for Tube, oh crap you highlighted it; ignore my remark :-)). It had an interesting mix of sci-fi, black comedy, horror, comedy, psychotic loner (I love psychotic loner films) etc... (I was surprised how well the different elements worked together). Now the ending might be a bit predictable but I dare not say much about this film until you watch it.
