The Tower is missing on your list :(

I really enjoyed The Tower...

There's gonna be much more movies which I simply forgot. Even some of which I don't remember the name anymore....

Sorry, these are the movies which stood out in my opinion.

@all, thanks for the support and suggestions. Keep them coming, you might persuade other members in watching the movie you post!

And that is a beautiful thing, widening someone's "cinema" palette.

I love asian movies and have watched some of the Korean movies on the list.

The one that I actually hoping to be made into steelbook and hopefully get the Kimchi special edition treatment is THE BROTHERHOOD OF WAR (TAE GUK GI) from 2004. I have a copy on DVD amaray.

Still no. 1 on my list of all Korean movies I have watched till now.

That's being made by Kimchidvd ;-)
That would be Plain Archive, not KimchiDVD. Chavvy is doing one as well.

I'm adding a few more to my personal favorite steelbook contenders list down below. Honestly, though...it all depends on the artwork used, as well as debossing / embossing and the actual finish of the steelbook. If it truly does the film justice, i'm all for it. If it's a lackluster / half-assed attempt at making quick money without keeping the fans in mind...i don't even want it.

Bedevilled
A Dirty Carnival
Friend
Masquerade
Pieta
A Tale of Two Sisters
Tazza
 
I would definitely add Ha Yoo's 'A Dirty Carnival' to this list, I would love to see that get the steelbook treatment. I would buy 'The Yellow Sea' or 'A Bittersweet Life' in a heartbeat too!

And a million others. I'd be here all day. :p
