I certainly didn't exclude those intentionally; rather, I simply haven't had quite as much exposure to Korean cinema, a situation that I fully intend to rectify ;) Arik,

First and foremost (and I don't know how you could miss this) is Park Chan-wook's Vengeance trilogy, comprised of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. The Housemaid is another incredible Korean film, directed by Kim Ki-young, in 1960. Finally, I'm astounded you didn't mention Spring in a Small Town, wide regarded as the greatest Chinese film ever made (not the remake, the original). Also strangely missing is Yellow Earth, Days of Being Wild, and A Better Tomorrow. Finally, though it is a comedy, Drunken Master. Comedies can be good movies too.
