I like that you took the time to put up a list. I would have preferred a top 10, and then maybe a top 10 Caribbean, Guyana, T&T, etc. list. Just my thoughts.
Is this a ranked list? I think Oldboy was a pretty smash hit film, so I'm surprised it's in the bottom 100 of your top 350.
WOw - Thank you ... this is an excellent list - just recently got into korean movies - so far watched Parasite / I saw the devil / Oldboy / Unstoppable / The Man from Nowhere / Sympathy For Mr. Vengance and these were amazing - these are must see movies !!!! Just watched : Kill Boksoon - Bloody good movie - no pun intended
This list I created are only Korean cinemas listed according to their latest "Years". I watch tons of films, so if you do not see a film, it means I did not like. If you want to watch other country films, here is the complete list. Once again before someone complains where is this and that, these are just my favorites. https://mycinemacollection.blogspot.com/?m=0 Films: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls008891086/ Dramas: https://www.imdb.com/user/ur0634166/watchlist
Them and Indonesians been making some great action flims. Recently watched "the Raid 1 and 2" along with "Man from Nowhere".
