      I would enter “memories of murder”. It goes toe to toe with Rear Window as one of the best suspense movies ever made, and MOM would go on my top 50 in any language any genre.

        I was just going to say Memories of Murder. It’s my favorite Bong Joon Ho film, and possibly my favorite Korean language film (that I’ve seen).

        It’s so fucking good. The fight scenes have to be some of the most realistic looking I’ve seen. At times it looks like they’re really throwing each other around. There’s one scene where the main cop guy comes flying in from off screen and full on drop kicks a dude, and he commits completely. Made me lol the first time I saw it, I had to rewind and watch it again.
