    The film won the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival last year and is probably one of the best movie to have ever come out of South Korea. It's a brilliant psychological thriller and I can't recommend it enough.

    Battle Royale I + II.

    As for Jackie Chan's older films, the greatest i've seen are Project A and Police Story, as well as Drunken Master and Snake in Eagle's shadow.

    Let me suggest you Souseiji by Tsukamoto Shin'ya (Tetsuo-Iron Man director).
    A beautiful, dark film with an awesome soundtrack.

    Then there is Fist of Legend, and the Once Upon a Time in Chinas(I-IV). If I may, I suggest the second, as you see Jet Li fight Donnie Yen(Iron Monkey).

    Daremo Shiranai (Nobody Knows) is one of the most important films ever created. Hirokuzu is a genius in more ways than I can possibly ever think to tell you.
    <FONT SIZE="4">You have to see this, yes I'm talking to YOU
    <B>Watch this movie at all costs, YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED WHAT FILM CAN BE IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THIS MOVIE</B></FONT>

    I can not possibly stress how important seeing Daremo Shiranai is.

    If you're looking for something more flashy, as suggested Battle Royale is a masterpiece as well as some of my other favorites... Gozu and Audition (Takashi Miike, I am in love with you sir.) are great choices.

    Save the Green Planet is one of the craziest, most awesome Korean films I've ever seen.

    Ong Bak is a genius introductory film for Thai martial artist Tony Jaa, one of the best "first films" I've ever seen for a martial artist in film.

    Can't go wrong with the originals of the crappy American remakes either, Ringu, Ju-on, and Dark Water are all great films (could have done without the last 10 minutes of Dark Water)

    Uh, erm well enjoy.
