Man from Nowhere, No Tears for the Dead and Olaboy should have been on the list.

This list is kinda bad honestly lol. I can kinda agree with like The Host, but some of them are just decent movies or successful blockbusters but not near the best of what Korean cinema has to offer. I'm sorry but being a big blockbuster's like The Admiral doesn't necessarily make it the best. The Admiral is maybe a decent, but over-dramatized historical action movie. No Oldboy or Memories of Murder (if you have neither of these two movies on your korean movie list, it seriously puts your list into question, go watch them lol), no My Sassy Girl, Man from Nowhere, Sunny (if you want a happier movie), or several others that could replace a few of the moves on this list (such as The Admiral...).

These movies are considered the classics in korea. Do not just say this list is shit just because you guys never heard of them. The man from no where is complete shit. Just cause it has some action scenes that appeal to you does not make it a classic in korea. Jesus.. all you foreigners makes me want to do the face palm.. Even you American-Koreans..

South Korea has one of the best directors and cinematography even more if compared to Chinese and Japanese, Japanese especially man those guys can't make a decent movie (good manga though). I can see that you have not included 'Oldboy' - good that movie even if it is good looking had the most ridiculous and retarded plot ever conceived, it was so over the top. However I am very sadden that "I saw the devil" is not present, Min-sik Choi is god.

People saying that this list is bad must have a very narrow range of choices. Probably your own opinion or sheer ignorance. The movies like Ode to my Father, masquerade.. etc appeal to a different kind of emotion that all persons can't empathize with. And people saying that movies like Man from nowhere are shit need to calm their titties. Just because it's an action movie doesn't mean it's shallow. That's why korean movies are great.. because even action movies have depth along with beautiful action choreography and not just mere fighting. And people saying why didn't you include this and that.. make your own blogs! everyone has different choices fools!

Glad so many people are mentioning 'The Man From Nowhere'. One or my favourite films of any kind and certainly one of the best Korean films I have seen. Also, what about 'War Of The Arrows'? That is superb.

As one of a Korean audience, this list isn't right. I'm embarrassed to see this shameful top10 list. -The Admiral was commercially successful but really really AWFUL movie. I like Yi sun-shin but the movie dishonors him. -The host was a real good one. -The thieves was nothing special, just watch ocean's 11 if you want to be entertained. -Miracle in Cell No. 7 is a worthless piece of s*it. It sucks. I mean it. -Masquerade was a real good one. -King and the clown was decent. -Taegukgi is just normal war movie. There are bunch of other good ones. -Tidal Wave is just laughable. It is just crap. -The Attorney- I didn't watch it. I heard it was pretty good. -Silmido is kind of 80's action movie. A good movie. But where is Oldoy, New world, Sympathy for (mr. / lady) vengeance, Snowpiercer, Memories of murder, and bunch of other GOOD movies? Please study some korean movies. Don't judge movies just for it's sales. Korean audience sucks most.

This is a great commercial list for those want to see successful spectacles. King and the Clown wasn't even nominated for the 2005 academy award. Wish it was. Yeah if you want to see the big budget movies, this is a good list. Tidal Wave was funny as it's not respected, but it's good for Westerners.
