Hi!
I created another kewl thread for you guyz. I'll post here the titles of the, in my view, best Asian moviez ever (mainly Chinese, HK, Taiwnese and the like moviez, only a few Japanese and Korean movies (I think you already saw them- and I somehow like the others more(though, I love JP moviez))).
I think they all are "must have seen" moviez; you won't regret to have rent them from your favorite DVD/tapes store.
I'll later edit the posts again to add stuff like production year, actors, information's and pics to them. I'll also add in which language you should watch them (like HK moviez: "Should I watch them in Mandarin or Cantonese, huh"?)
EDIT: You should always buy the Original Hong Kong/Chinese DVD'S of the movies if possible. Hong Kong DVD are mostly region-free DVD's, and Chinese DVD are Region 3 DVD's. All of them should have at least English subtitles.
