Can anyone suggest good asian films I've seen Zatoichi and it was brilliant........also what are your favourite asian films if any?

**kikimm** · 06-30-2005, 07:30 PM

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Oh, and I haven't seen it yet, but House of Flying Daggers looks really, really good. Go check that out.
What was it called.....Shaolin Soccer? Yes, that one too.

And I have this unsettling feeling that I'm missing something extremely important....

Hero was a masterpiece.I've also seen House of Flying Daggers, and intend on seeing any other Zhang Yimou martial arts movies in the future.

Infernal Affairs was also cool.

Hana-Bi (Fireworks)
Yin Shi Nan Nu (Eat Drink Man Woman)
Wu Hu Cang Long (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon)

[Akira Kurosawa]
Kagemusha
Ran
Rashômon (Favourite

)

And maybe Battle Royale, Ringu, Audition or, well.. There are loads more.
Crouching.. is Chinese, the rest are Japanese.

Oldboy
Audition

Hana-Bi is good, although I've only seen half of it twice. I kept falling asleep. But it was late at night.
Izu is good, although rather blood thirsty.
Visitor Q is good if you want messed up stuff. REALLY messed up stuff.
Gozu is good for...again more messed up stuff.

Kikujiro by Takeshi Kitano is simply hilarious. Watch it.

Happiness of the Katakuri's is fun too.

I've heard good things about Old boy, In the mood for love and Not Getting Any.

Basically if you want good Asian films that are (relitavly) easy to get hold of, any (Beat) Takeshi Kitano films, or Takeshi Miike films are great.

Also for classics try Akira Khsdfdgasdgasdgh-I cant remeber his last name's films. They are old school 50's b/w ones. The Seven Samurai and The Hidden Fortress (Inspired Star Wars) are great.

I can't believe no one's mentioned Kung Fu Hustle yet. That film was hilarious.

**eestlinc** · 07-01-2005, 12:53 AM

Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, etc

**Cless** · 07-01-2005, 12:56 AM

Battle Royale
Audition
Dark Water
Ringu

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is brilliant. You should definatly watch it.

On the other hand I didn't really like Hero. While beutifuly shot it lacked something.

And House of Flying Daggers also had a very weak plot and the action just wasn't satisfying enough to make up for it.

I hear Ong-Bak is very good. Its got no special effects or stunt doubles so it makes a change from all the Wire-Fu CGI fests there have been recently.
