Old Boy

It really annoys me that they're remaking this as an American movie. I don't like this need to remake great non-American films because mainstream audiences won't see films with subtitles. Just drop 25 million in advertising and get people to see the original. It deserves the props.

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance I thought was also great, but not nearly as stylized as Old Boy, so don't expect an entirely similar experience. Haven't had a chance to see the third one yet.

Lady Vengence (the third one.. whats with these titles?) should be coming to DVD soon hopefully. ^__^

Lady Vengeance is good too but neither Lady nor Mr. can touch oldboy in my opinion.

I know there's been like 2 or 3 threads about this movie before but I'm too lazy to search/link them.

but yeah Oldboy is great. I'm pretty lucky to have gotten to see the whole trilogy in a theater but Oldboy is a movie that I'll see whenever it plays

Search for Oldboy (one word).

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance has one of the most disturbing moments in cinema history. I cant really remember the rest of the movie. But I do remember that one part, clear as day. Its the kind of thing you don't forget.
