They're amazing biggthumpup.gif

I've only seen three of his movies so far, 3-Iron, Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall... Spring (or whatever it is) and Bad Guy

Out of those three I'd say 3-Iron is my favourite simply because it's the most touching

Now I'll probably end up getting a few more of his movies

Any suggestions?

I'm planning to get Samaritan Girl and The Bow

Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall... Spring was a weird movie but I liked it. Even though it had some sex scenes ( not a big fan of those because sometimes I watch movies with family....) KKD is known for creating weird scenes in his movie. In "The Isle", he f's up a couple of animals (fishes and frongs) and in the movie "The Bow", the old man wants to marry a 17 year old girl and as the movie progresses, a younger man comes in the picture who questions everything. I have only seen those 3 (The Bow, The Isle, and S.S.W.F) and from what I have heard, hes made over 10 movies, but like always, they never make a big splash. I'd check out "The Bow" but there is very little talking like always.

You definitely need to see 3-Iron

I would recommend that from the three I've seen and it doesn't have any WTF crazy moments or sex scenes

It's also relatively shorter than most of his movies (heard they were all quite lengthy, over 2 hours each) since it's hardly over 90 minutes long

But that's what I always found appealing with his movies - there is hardly any talking but everything is still so intriguing

I mean in 3-Iron, the two leads do not say a word to each other for 99% of the film and yet it's... magical, lol

Hahaha I know man

That guy would've made a cool modern day ninja

Anyhow I've heard quite a few good things about Time and Samaritan Girl so I will be getting these next

Apparently Bad Guy is one of his most hated works - I'd understand with how sexist and disturbing the movie can be at times

3-Iron is my favorite KKD movie thus far (out of 3, Spring, and Bad Guy).
