My friend told me that I couldn\'t dare call myself Korean if I missed Old Boy. He locked me in his house and forced me to sit through a version with Korean subtitles... which I couldn\'t read very well. But I got the gist of it, and it kicks fucking ass.
If you\'re into Korean films, also check out Tae Guk Gi: Brotherhood of War, Shiri, My Sassy Girl, and Joint Security Area. These are the mainstream movies though... it\'s my humble opinion that the quiet niche Asian movies are the ones that gently lodge themselves into your brain.
