A better example is JSA (Gongdong gyeongbi guyeok). At the moment, the recent release Oldboy is riding high in the IMDB top 250 and looks like it's definitely worth a viewing.

Swiri? Was that Shiri in America? Cause I saw that, and I didn't see the big deal, other then it being a really international type movie. But yes, JSA was truely an awsome, awsome film. Even though you knew what was going to happen, you prayed it didn't, and when it did, it just brought a tear to your eye.
The last scene of the film is possibly one of the greatest endings ever, it still hits me sometimes... great movie.
Oldboy was brought to the US thanks to Quintin Taretino (sp?) at the Cannes Film Festival, but uhhh... they kept thinking he directed it, and kept giving Quintin all this directoral praise.
