I love Asian Cinema! My favorite movie of all time (for now) is "Battle Royale." I like the different cultural sensibilities and I loathe it when some of these movies are badly dubbed, or worse, completely remade with lousy American actors. I hope that "Battle Royale" isn't remade with Ashton Kutcher and Hillary Duff and whatever other flavor-of-the-month "actors" are available.
I especially sought out "Ringu" instead of watching "The Ring" because I feel like it honors the artist's original intent and creative vision to watch the source material. Even though my GF ruined it by telling me the ending RIGHT BEFORE it happened, I still liked the movie.
In Chinese Cinema, I like "Wing Chun", "Dragon Inn", "Fire Dragon", "Drunken Master" series, and so forth. My GF's Chinese and there's this store at the local Asian mall where she rents her Chinese Romance novels that sells all kinds of Chinese movies and getting exposed to new titles is always cool.
