- DirectorPark Chan-wookStarsChoi Min-sikYoo Ji-taeKang Hye-jeongAfter being kidnapped and imprisoned for fifteen years, Oh Dae-Su is released, only to find that he must track down his captor in five days.One of the greatest movies ever made. The music, the composition and the intensity doesnt even let the viewer get comfortable before pushing them head first into the story.
- DirectorBryan SingerStarsPatrick StewartHugh JackmanHalle BerryWhen anti-mutant Colonel William Stryker kidnaps Professor X and attacks his school, the X-Men must ally with their archenemy Magneto to stop him.An amazing way to capture the dangers of even having one mutant in the real world. This scene brings the character Nightcrawler to life.
- DirectorLars von TrierStarsWillem DafoeCharlotte GainsbourgStorm Acheche SahlstrømA grieving couple retreat to their cabin in the woods, hoping to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage, but nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse.So disturbing, so beautiful and painfully shocking. This scene will stick in your head for days, even weeks beyond seeing it.
- DirectorNa Hong-jinStarsKim Yoon-seokHa Jung-wooSeo Yeong-hieA disgraced ex-policeman who runs a small ring of prostitutes finds himself in a race against time when one of his women goes missing.Such a slow build up.. with soft music playing over a scene with no dialogue that instantly cuts to a car out in the rain thats been there for days. The mystery is instantly in play and the first line of dialogue sucks you in, keeping you held as the movie title flashes on screen.
