Infernal Affairs 1 and 2
Dark Water
A Tale Of Two Sisters
Brotherhood
City on Fire

RE: Recommend me some Asian films
The Road Home from Hero/House Of Flying Daggers director Zhang Yimou, and starring the delectable Ziyi Zhang :)
It`s very different to his martial arts movies though, no action to be had here... it`s about a woman who, following her husband`s death, recounts the story of how they met. It`s really good, though not really in tone with anything on your list.
It`s on Amazon for 6 squids as well :)
RE: Recommend me some Asian films
That`s the `who`s who` of `hot` Asian film, but may I suggest investing in a bit of punctuation? Go for:
Tae Guk Gi
Tom Yum Goong
Oldboy/Mr. V and Lady V
Ichi the Killer (uncut of course)
Mr Vampire
Shaolin Soccer
Kung Fu Hustle
Loads more, but far too drunk to remember at the moment.
Yes I do need some punctuation!
But also Oldboy is on my list, but I don`t think any amount of gore or "x rated" stuff can entice me back to Ichi the Killer just thought it was s***e!
I think I actually have Kung Fu Hustle, bought it and borrowed to my brother and never got back >:(
Will definately check out the other aswell though.

The Road Home sounds good aswell. I will add it to my order, although I will be demanding a full refund if I don`t like ;)

Dragon Tiger Gate is a recent release, and is top notch! Bought mine from CD Wow
Yeah, I Know

Second opinion - Dragon Tiger Gate is rubbish. A lot of posing (step forward Donnie Yen) and mobile product placement, indifferent martial arts choreography that descends into Mortal Kombat fx-farce. Looks more like a hair product commercial than anything else.
City of Violence is very good, new from Korea.
