A few awesome directors

Here's a few awesome modern directors who'se work you should be watching.

Kim Jee-Woon

Directed:
                                                        I Saw the Devil
 An insane movie about a man on the trail of revenge against the serial killer who killed his pregnant wife.

                                                      A Bittersweet Life
 A movie about the workings of the korean mob and one of the enforcers who gets turned on by his own people.

                                                      A Tale of Two Sisters
 A chilling horror / psychological thriller movie about a young girl who returns to her home with her sister after something horrible happened to them.

Park Chan-Wook

Directed:
                                                Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
 A blood-curdling movie about a man who kidnaps a young girl to pay for his sisters surgery and how it all goes horribly wrong.

                                                               Oldboy
 What is now considered a modern classic, this movie is a must-see. The story is of a man locked into a room for 15 years with no knowledge of who the perpetrators are or why they are doing it, then he's released and has 5 days to get his revenge.

                                                    Joint Security Area
 An amazing movie about the murder of two north korean soldiers on the border between both koreas and the investigation into it.

Paul Thomas Anderson

Directed:
                                                         Boogie Nights
One of my favorite movies ever, this masterpiece needs no introduction. Go watch it.

                                                     There Will Be Blood
 Sporting one of the best performances in recent memory by Daniel Day-Lewis, this movie is one of the best character studies ever made.

                                                               Magnolia 
 A beautifully shot movie about seemingly unrelated lives that become intrically related, this movie is a must-see for any movie lover.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding is the most profitable movie of all time earning a 6150% return on investment.

                               

This movie made over $368.7 million worldwide, becoming one of the top romantic films of the 21st Century with just a 5 million dollar budget. It was even the fifth highest grossing film in 2002. I find this shocking.

Colin and Nick's Top 5 Movies of the Last Decade

So these are our favorite movies from 2000-2010, we were going to do in January but we are just so lazy.

                                        Nick's top 5

                                                 5. Gangs of New York
An awesome movie about the gang rivalries in New York in the 1860s. My 2nd favorite Scorsese movie (after Taxi Driver), Daniel Day-Lewis gives, I think, his best performance ever in this, completely overshadowing Leonardo DiCaprio.



                                                      4. Inception
 My favorite film of 2010, this movie was extremely intense to watch in theaters, the effects were amazing throughout the movie but really its the whole concept of going in the dreams I found really interesting. The music was also pretty intense.



                                                      3. Gladiator
 Amazing action, acting, music, story and cinematography. What would you want, to be entertained?



                                                  2. American Psycho
 An amazing satire on the 80's ''Wall Street'' attitude, this movie is both hilarious and insane. Christian Bale gives the performance of a lifetime in an incredibly entertaining movie.



                                                     1. Donnie Darko
 My favorite movie of all time, nevermind just the last decade, this movie encompasses the life of a teenager living a bizarre and fragile life. Getting the occasional visit from a giant bunny, he delves deeper into madness while retaining a seemingly normal teenage life. Jake Gyllenhaal's best performance , this film is a must-see.



                                                 Colin's top 5

                                                  5. This is England
 An amazing and very underrated movie about the racist neo-nazi skinhead subculture of England. Stephen Graham (Snatch, Boardwalk Empire) gives one of the best performance of any movie I've ever seen. The music is also fantastic



                                                      4. City of God
 A stunning movie about the ghettos and life in the City of God, the most insane thing about this movie is that it's all based on a true story. Violence, drugs, love and good music, this film could be about rock and roll but its about The violence and corruption of Brazil.



                                             3. No Country for Old Men
 One of the Coen brothers' best movie, this film is intense from the start till the end. The cinematography is thrilling and beautiful throughout, the lack of soundtrack just adds to the intensity and reality of the movie. The three main actors all also give stunning performances.



                                               2. Let the Right One In
 An extremely beautiful and disturbing movie about the relationship between two outcasts of society, a young bullied boy and a vampire who has kept her body for a very long time. The acting, cinematography and music are all done to perfection in this must-see movie.



                                                       1. Oldboy
 A masterpiece beyond comparison, this movie kept me on the edge till the end. It's hard to choose a favorite among the Vengeance trilogy (sympathy for mr.vengeance and lady vengeance are the others) but this one has so many memorable scenes and moments that it's too hard not to put it at #1. The soundtrack is also one of the best I've ever heard.
