HK DVD recommendations?
Question:

i'm just about to place an order for Laputa: Castle in the Sky from dddhouse, and as usual, I fancy stocking up on some films I haven't seen yet.
I've recently watched The Eye and Dark Water, and wouldn't mind getting some more scary films to watch so does anyone have suggestions of any releases I can pick up from dddhouse that would be worth a shot?

Answers:


I just did a similar thing...
Got <I>Kiki's Delivery Service</i>, <i>My Neighbor Totoro</i> and <i>Spirited Away</i> to keep <I>Laputa</i> company in the post. :p

Answers:


Got all of them already :D
I've now added My Beautiful Girl Mari and Samsara to the cart. Still fancy a couple more though.

Answers:


I haven't seen it but I want to ... Hollywood Hong Kong has just won the best director (Fruit Chan) award in Taiwan's main film festival.
The singapore film I Not stupid by Jack Neo is also supposed to be very good (another I want to see) and the director is considered to be Singapore's best.

Answers:


I've now jumped over and have ordered a few Korean discs - Memento Mori, Failan and My Sassy Girl :)
That should keep my going.

Answers:


Memento Mori - is 4:3 ... its cheap yeah but the film largely depends on its visual cinematic qualities.

Those are 3 fantastic movies Colin.
It's all downhill after you've seen those. :D
(Edit - If you've brought the HK release of Momento Mori then cancel it quick and buy the Korean release).

Shaolin Soccer- go and order that now if you havent already

Answers:


Oddly, Shaolin Soccer is one I didn't enjoy. Had it a while - maybe I should give it a second chance.

Answers:


I watched shaolin soccer after reading lots of praise on here and few other places, its a bit slow sometimes but thought it was hilarious

Answers:


It's OK - I've got the Korean releases of My Sassy Girl, Memento Mori and Failan on order, not the HK ones :)

I thought the first half was a bit slow going but it certainly picked up.

Guns And Talks is another good film.

The 2-disc Korean release has no English subtitles during the cut scenes.
