watched "Old Boy" a month or so ago and this was a great movie can't beleive no one has recomended it. Also I am having a hard time enjoying any Japanese movies, I find them slow or boring or just plain uninteresting. Mostly like chineses movies and liked one of two korean films I have watched, but both looked very nice cinematic wise. Valcano high was the other korean movie, its purely action and the storyline sucks but it was ok to watch once.

Action movie lovers can always start with the older Jackie Chan or Jet Li shows, which were much better as they were still in their prime then. Fans of Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle MUST see his previous work, which although lacks in the special effects department but makes it up with more hillarious stuff.
"Our hearts are full of memories but not all of them reflect the truth. The heart isn't a recording device. Even important memories change with time. They warp or fade, leaving us with but a shadow of what we hoped to remember." 天の道を行き、全てを司る。これは僕の世界。
I'd second the Akira Kurosawa rec (Seven Samurai and Yojimbo are awesome) as well as Jackie Chan's movies (Drunken Master and Snake in Eagle's Shadow are very cool, I love how they can do these crazy scenes with physical skill alone and little to no special effects). Some other recs:
A Chinese Ghost Story (I liked this one a lot)
Iron Monkey
Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon and Fists of Fury (classics, although watch out for the random stripper scene in Fists of Fury, I was watching it with my family and damn was that awkward)
Raise the Red Lantern (drama)
Farewell my Concubine (really good drama)
The Emperor and the Assassin
That's all I can think of for now.
Edit: In one of my classes I saw a clip of this odd Japanese film where a neglected wife would elaborately tie herself up with rope in order to get her husband's attention. Anyone know the name of this? I don't think there are too many films with this plot.
I have a home movie like that.....just kidding.
