Best Korean Movies Out On Blu-Ray

[kashif]

There is a thread for best Korean movies but I am starting this thread for movies which are out on Blu-Ray so please share those which are available on Blu-ray and you like them so much that they are a part of your collection now.

I am new to Koran cinema and I am sure many others like me will benefit from a thread like this so kindly share as much as you can and keep this topic alive.

Thanks!

If you can stomach dark and violent films, I strongly recommend...

I Saw the Devil.

The Man From Nowhere.

Also, Chan-Wook Park's films go without saying.

First of all I am a serious home theater geek to start off.
I have seen plenty of Korean movies(I am a Korean American). Many Korean movies have such original ideas with deep meanings.

Here's my definitive recommendations:
1. Man From Nowhere: Action; I am blown away by the storyline, acting, and cinematography. My favorite Korean Movie ever!
2. My Sassy Girl: Romantic comedy at its best. Based on true story(amazing)! Used to cry watching this movie, seen it many times in my life. One of the best movies I have ever seen. USA remake is terrible..
3. Memories of Murder: Crime mystery. True story. Amazing movie! Seen it many times.
4. Architecture 101: Romantic drama. Recommended by my sister-in-law in Korea. Very moving, ending gets me every time. I heard this movie did very well in Korea when it was released in theaters.
5. Teacher Mr. Kim: Drama. Slacker teacher in Seoul is forced to teach temporarily in rural Korea as punishment where he learns the life's lesson by his students & townspeople. Very moving, one of my favs of all time. DVD and hard to find though, but definitely worth watching.
6. Oldboy: Korean classic. Crime drama. Spike Lee recently did remake of it, but not even close to this original.
7. Sunny: Coming of of age story like Stand by Me but all girls. Lots of profanity, comedy drama. Ending touches your heart deeply.
8. I Saw the Devil: Horror. Wow, I never seen this kind of psychological horror movie. Very original!
9. Commitment: Action drama, a young boy from N. Korea is forced become a spy. New bluray. I liked it. Awesome action sequences, but still Man From Nowhere is WAY better.
