Here's a few more you might like:Warriors of Heaven and Earth (HK) VERY Good epoch movie
Azumi (Jp) Cute assasin- good action
Sky High (Jp) good action-prequel to the TV show
My Sassy Girl (Korea) strange romantic comedy
Juon:the grudge 2-not as good as original, but still good.
Twilight Samarai(Jp) recomended to me-haven't seen it yet.
Il Mare (Korea)-good love story, but *very* slow paced.
The Eye (hk) HK's version of the sixth senseNote: Marimax is buying up the US rights for many of the better asian movies, which means it will be more difficult to get them.
Follow Ups:
Go-Joe: Japanese stylish samurai/supernatural
Sorekara: (And Then) Japanese, based on the Natsume Soseki novel, one of Yusaku Matsudas last films (Japans James Dean)
Shuri: Korean thriller, the same director did "JSA", Joint Security Area, which was also a major hit in Japan and also a very good film
anything/everything by Won Kar Wai (HK) esp. Fallen Angels, Chungking Express, Happy Together
almost everything by Akira Kurosawa, esp. Ran, Kagemusha but avoid Dreams(!)
anything/everything by Juzo Itami (Japan) esp. Marusa no Onna, (Woman Lawyer) Tampopo, (Sunflower), O-soshiki (The Funeral), Daibyoonin (The Terminal Patient)
anything/everything by Satyajit Ray (India) but esp. The Stranger or Pather Panchali which is a great Asian classic and as far from Bollywood or Hollywood as you could get...Grins
