2002 (product link) Action/Adventure / Ghost The beginning of the film was very interesting, but near the end of the flick was like watching two HK pop video.
Cure (product link) Crime / Thriller Very interesting flick kind of like "Silence Of The Lambs", but mind you this movie has a lot of long shots which is very rare these days. It helps sets the mood and the story. Keep in mind this is more like a crime drama more than it is a supernatural theme then what people mostly expect in a j-horror/thriller these days. Some viewers may find this film very slow paced that is the style of the director, pretty much the same pace when he did "Pulse" (Japan Version). If anyone out there liked David Fincher's "Zodiac" (2007) where the movie is just made for storytelling (in my opinion) then this is definitely something you may enjoy and want to add to your collection. My advice is just sit down and enjoy this film as a good book.
Flash Point (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts The film may start out slow, but it builds up to an all-out brawl between Colin Chou and Donnie Yen. Looking for some MMA fighting? This one is awesome and a better follow-up to "SPL" (AKA "Killzone").
I'm A Cyborg, But That's OK (product link) Drama / Romance This film is, in my opinion, not too bad. Be patient with this film and watch carefully because you will tend to get lost with the storyline. Great story, just could have been done at a faster pace.
One Missed Call [2003] (product link) Horror / Thriller Pretty good horror film with an urban legend as part of the theme. I personally thought this one was good in-your-face type of horror compared to its two sequels. And the gore, surprisingly, was toned down, so I guess Miike just wanted to freak you out this time instead of grossing you out.
The Victim [1980] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I remember seeing this film when I was young, and I thought that this film had one of the best fights ever. Now almost 30 years later I still thought the same--still a good film, and the ending just made me laugh because Sammo Hung is just so funny.

The fight at the end with Chang Yi and Leung Kar-Yan is one of my all time favorites
R-Point [Korean LE 2-Disc Box] (product link) Horror / Thriller Watch this film carefully because it's definitely a thinker once you get to the end of the film.
