I used to be quite the movie enthusiast. Went to the cinema a lot, was excited about new releases and waited for them in anticipation. But these last couple of years I've been pretty bored with most of the western stuff. There was a fair share of good movies no doubt, but I have the feeling it were a lot less than back in the day. Maybe this is what we call 'acquired taste'? Or I am just getting old.

Either way, I've started to look into some Asian movies these past couple of days, mostly but not exclusively Chinese. I find them quite entertaining. Probably because it's different and I watch them in the original Audio. I also find that Chinese movies are usually more polished than Korean/Japanese ones. Is this just a subjective observation?

I honestly haven't seen that many yet.

EDIT: Sorting these movies in alphabetical order, links to IMDB as well as origin (Flag). I will stick to the English names where possible!
(*) means I would recommend it
(-) means I wouldn't recommend it.
Anything without either of those I consider worthwhile, but not something I would think of first if someone were to ask me for recommendations.
These are subject to change as I get to see more movies. No need to try argue with my choices, I don't care :)
