Bad GuyBad Guy
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $4.76
I was truly moved by the violence and emotional pain in this film. Many people have claimed it to be sexist, but as a feminist, I believe that it shows the pain of things such as prostitution

A truly different, and cinematically beautiful Korean horror film, rather than just another unoriginal rip-off so common in its genre

Buy used from: $12.69
I have not seen the DVD version of this film, but the film itself is truly a masterpiece, and is much better than the similar Korean film Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring
Untold ScandalUntold Scandal

Wacky sci-fi comedy
ShiriShiri
Buy new: $20.49 / Used from: $7.44
One of the films that helped make Korean cinema what it is today (which I appreciate, though I am not a huge fan of this film since it doesn't really seem to be anything new)

This version suffers from poor picture quality at times, but it is still a worthwhile film, especially for those who like quieter films such as those by Ozu
