I've seen and enjoyed Oldboy and Sympathy for Mr. Vengence.

I dug Oldboy more though, especially for the ending and for Oh Dae-Su himself. One of my favorites of all those fucked-up asian films, next to Ichi the Killer.

Oh, and because of this scene:

Oldboy, Mr. Vengence and Lady Vengence are part of the director Chan-Wook Park's "Revenge" trilogy. All they have in common is the director, theme of revenge and some of the most fucked-up scenes in movie history.

I still need to see Lady though.

Lady Vengeance is a really good film Gone Mad, you need to check it out.
I haven't seen 'Sympathy...' yet.

Awesome movie.

Completely different genre but My Sassy Girl is the most hilarious romantic comedy ever.

I didn't care for Lady Vengeance so much. Mr. Vengeance was merely ok.

Oldboy was great in every way though.

I loved Lady Vengeance and Old Boy.

Lady Vengeance has some beautiful cinematography and some very interesting themes going on in it. I feel like watching it again, now, as I haven't watched it since I purchased it.

I thought Ichi the Killer was fucking terrible. The movie would be considered complete garbage if it wasn't for the fact it was made in Japan. It's the asian factor. People seem to think things are cool because they're asian.

But Oldboy is fuckin awesome.
