# Precisely!
It probably helps that my dad is deaf and I have grown up with subtitles on the telly, so I'm mega used to reading them quickly and still paying attention to what's going on. However, I am suuuure that having films in the original language makes them miiiles better.

Most miyazaki stuff, Oldboy, Paprika, Battle Royale, City Of God, Letters From Iwo Jima.

These are all amazing films. You?

# Oldboy for the epic win.
One of my favourite films ever.

I lovelovelove Pan's Labyrinth.

Still a huge fan of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon too...

Letters from Iwo Jima was really good but it kinda narked me that it's an American Film, just feels weird.
Have you seen Brotherhood, by any chance?

# Yeh forgot to mention
Pans Lab and The Orphanage!!! Sry.

Yeh CrouchTiger/FlyingDaggers/Hero all good too.

Not seen brotherhood, I will now though. :)

# Brotherhood's properly good
All the Korean films I've seen have been stunning. Sort of weird, in some cases, but a treat for the old noodle nonetheless.

The Host is one of the crazy ones... I'm sure it makes more sense if you're actually Korean.
