Korean Cinema help
 

Hey I love the Korean Movies. Silmido and Baramui Fighter are my 2 favorites. Old Boy is close. I stumbled upon Attack the Gas Station R0. Is it any good, worth the buy? Thanks for any help.

Attack the gas station is silly. I personally didnt like the film. The best korean movie i have i seen is friend, oldboy, sympathy for mr. vengence, public enemy, wild card, and samaria.

Thanks for the quick response dmpre99, I'll have to see if I can find Friend anywhere.

I'm a HUGE fan of Attack the Gas Station, a great film in my opinion.

Some Korean films I have enjoyed:

<b>Guns & Talk
Musa
Seoul
Tale of Two Sisters
Shiri</b>

In a lighter mood: <b>My Sassy Girl, Ditto, Il Mare</b>

i hated attack the gas station; its silly, stupid, and just overall a total waste of time (imo of course).

shiri was ok...

tale of two sisters is a big thumbs up!

i would second the recommendation about friend; it is the best korean movie i've seen (so far).

I posted in a thread about 6 months ago where I listed all the Korean movies I've seen, grouped by my rating.

See my post here: http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showpos...04&postcount=7

There are about 90 films on my list that I have an opinion about. If you want to know more of why I think a certain way about a particular film, just ask.

Regarding the two you mentioned in your post, I really did not like Attack the Gas Station. Too silly and repetitive. I give Oldboy a very good rating.

If you check my list, you will find that I really liked certain movies that many others don't care for so much, although they do have their fans (ex: Bichunmoo and Volcano High). Conversely, there are those that I disliked greatly that people here rave about to no end (ex: Save the Green Planet and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance). But that's part of the fun in discussing films. If we all had the same opinion we wouldn't need a discussion forum would we?

As others have said, you must watch A Tale of Two Sisters, provided you like psychological horror.

i personally like ATGS. , its worth my money
