Two Korean film recommendations for you, firstly Oldboy...it shouldn't really need an introduction, as it was probably the most outstanding film to come out of the country in years. Go rent or buy it now! I can't recommend it enough, and I'm not going to say a word about it as it's a film that needs its surprises...and believe me you 'will' be surprised. If you have seen it go hunt down the other two parts of the Vengence series.
Secondly, and perhaps slightly less well known is A Bittersweet life...a more straight forward film but with style by the bucket load. Tarantino wishes he could be this inventive.

Click on the youtube clip to see the entire start of the film. NOT FOR KIDS THOUGH!

Andy,
Oldboy is indeed a great film, the ending is totally shocking. Even though I loved it, it is a movie I would only watch once.
In fact I have tried to flog my double DVD on ebay but no one seems interested.
Swirl is another good movie that has Min-sik Choi in it, I also have a movie where he is a kick boxer but I have not watched it yet.
