Anyone a fan?

Seeing Oldboy in 2007 was one of those films that changed my life.

Theres been others though, Mother, The Man from Nowhere, I Saw the Devil

very interesting films. violent and graphic as hell, but i was intrigued by every single one of them.

    i didnt hear that. yeah it does seem like thats the way of things though. Seems like for years now, asian film has put out some amazing horror films, i wouldnt call the films i mentioned horror films, but in general, asian film has created some good stuff lately, and yes, it seems like a huge chunk of those films were later remade

    So they are. I always thought Takashi Miike was Korean.

    Maybe someone can help me out...

    There is a Korean war film
    that came out between 2001 - 2005.
    I was teaching there at the time,
    but of course none of the Korean movies
    have subtitles or dubs.
    My boss described it as a Korean
    'Dirty Dozen.'
    Does anybody have any idea what I'm talking about?
    Cheers.
