Hey there, I haven't seen that many myself but I have some solid recommendations (all Korean movies btw):

 

• I Saw the Devil - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1588170/
• The Handmaiden - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4016934/
• Oldboy - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0364569/
• The Wailing - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5215952/
• Parasite - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6751668/

Some of the above may be hard to watch for sensitive viewers so beware  

 

Also interested to see what our fellow community members recommend. I feel like Asian cinema kind of breaks away from Hollywood formulas and give us some fresh stuff to explore.

It’s a testament to my poor knowledge of Asian cinema that, with the exception of one film, all movies featured on my list have been released in this century and don’t include any work by the likes of Kurosawa, Wong Kar-wai and many more, simply because I’ve never seen any of their films.

 

1. Memories Of Murder

2. Oldboy

3. Parasite

4. Kung Fu Hustle

5. Infernal Affairs

6. Farewell My Concubine

7. The Raid

8. Train To Busan

9. The Handmaiden
