What about Vietnamese? The Rebel (Us title) is possibly the best movie to come out of the country.

[assydingo]

I'll third The Host

[MOONPHASE]

Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni

It's a live action movie based on the anime of the same name(known in America as When They Cry). Characters look almost nothing like the original anime characters but otherwise it is still a good violent movie(even if it is nowhere as good as the actual anime).

Maggie Q was in a Chinese made all English speaking action/ drama called Naked Weapon.

I bought it thinking it would be a showtime after hours kinda movie and I was pleasantly surprised to find a somewhat moving and disturbing tale of abducted women who are brainwashed and turned into assassins.

And nope...no skin either ;o )

No recommendation for Once a Theif in there? Love The Killer.

Still haven't seen Bullet in the Head. They have region free imports of it at a store near me but I want to watch it not buy it.

No other fans of Korean Drama series here?
