Recommend Good Movies

[Revinant]

Ive been out of the movies lately, so I was wondering if anybody can recommend something good????

Here a few that I remember:

Audition (Sick suspense, kinda gory) - Miike Takashi
Visitor Q (sick humor) - Miike Takashi
Ichii the Killer (karate & lots of killing, very gore) - Miike Takashi
Dead or Alive [trilogy] (japanesse mafia) - Miike Takashi
Dark Water (Horror) - Hideo Nakata
Dolls (Great photo) - Takeshi Kitano
Suicide Club (drama, kinda funny) - Shion Sono

As you can see Im a big fan of asian cinema
Is anyone in to this kind of movies????

na, its not disturbing, is just a movie with lots of teen suicides.
the most disturbing parts are in the begining where like 50 girls jump in to the metro rail & 20 mins later when they show a piece of human flesh rolled

again: disturbing.

and Ringu is good, much better than the bastardized version.

yup, I agree, I think only the photo of the american version is better than the original

Also got the 3 parts Ringu, Ringu 2 & Ringu 0, watch them in that order :wink:

Try dark water, is from the same director: Hideo Nakata
i think dark water is better than ringu

OLDBOY - it's a Korean film that came in second place at this year's Cannes. It's a mother of all revenge films with a monster of a plot twist/revalation that blew me away. I cannot recommend it enough.

THE FIVE VENOMS - Classic Kung Fu film from the Shaw Brothers (one of the chief inspirations for Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill). One of their absolute best.

JU-ON - THE GRUDGE - not quite for everyone's taste, but it's being remade for this fall with Sarah Michelle Gellar in the lead. See the Japanese version first, make up your own mind if it's this year's The Ring, or something else entirely.

INTERSTELLA 5555 - Takes Daft Punk's Discovery album and uses it for a soundtrack for an anim? in the vein of Captain Harlock or Star Blazers (but with a much more fantasy angle). Amazing idea, excellent execution.

Done, that one is from Brasil (I hope were talking about the same one)
