Kamikaze Girls (product link) Comedy / Action/Adventure What can I say more than, wow! Surprising I say, I appreciate a lot in the visual, the color and cameras angles, showing the crazyness of this NO ordinary movie. It has a unique approach too. I like the fact that it has a lot of real reference, like the yakuza, the yanki, gangs in Japan, the lolita looks...that I was not familiar with. Also, I become very familiar with the girls, because, we see their life, in a funny way, but also realistic, so then it gives more profundity to the character and I realise that I've been touch by the them, Ichigo and Momoko, the actress have given life very well to their personification! So then for me "Kamikaze Girls" is a brilliant, yet funny, movie that I will enjoy often!!

Indeed a great film. Momoko with her wild imagination was so funny.
Oldboy (product link) Thriller / Action/Adventure Having only been exposed to Korean cinema through "Musa" and "Bichanmoo", I was blown away with "Oldboy". This movie was a visceral tour-de-force and kept me riveted throughout. Tightly paced, this film does not disappoint. Park Chan-Wook has now become one of my favorite directors, and I look forward to seeing more of his work.
Great movie!!

Couldn't agree more. This is the film that made me a total Park fanboy.
Galaxy Express Collection [SE 3-Disc Box] (product link) Animation / Art A true classic. More than just great anime, "Galaxy Express 999" and "Adieu, Galaxy Express 999" are great cinema.

The first movie is a definite classic. Maetel especially is one of the most memorable characters in the history of animation.
I'm A Cyborg, But That's OK (product link) Drama / Romance "I'm a Cyborg." is a masterpiece. Sorry, I just wanted to get that out of the way early on. Park Chan-Wook has delivered an incredible, though very different, follow up to his "Vengeance" trilogy. "Cyborg" is a love story, set in an asylum. The girl thinks she is a cyborg, and the boy likes to steal things. They are surrounded by a group of inmates who each have their own, quirky habits. This is a lush, highly stylized film, with a fantastic soundtrack. Quirky, touching, and from the man who brought us Oldboy et al, a treat for the senses.
I'm a glowing fan, but that's OK.
Highest recommendation.

A good film yes, but I think "masterpiece" is exaggeration. Personally I prefer any film from the vengeance trilogy over this, but mileage varies.
