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.

Thanks, I can never choose between all the current movies.
I've been wanting to see the rest of the Oldboy movies for a while but Netflix instant play for some reason does not have them subbed. I tried hitting on this Korean girl in my class to get her to come over and translate the entire movie for me ... it didn't work unfortunately (
Magnolia...ive been wanting to watch that.
I wrote down all these to watch them soon. Thank you very much! Following, mate!
There Will be Blood is just a fantastic movie.
