I haven't got round to watching the whole thing, but a mate once insisted on showing me the octopus scene.

One of the most unforgettable movies I've ever seen.I watched it in 2003 when it came out (wow time passes by...) and I still get the chills when I think of it.Also,it probably has one of the best/unbelievable/creative fighting scenes ever.

Great film, not sure I shoulda watched it with my parents though O_o;;;

Also +1 for Audition, maybe not as disturbing as Oldboy but it is good. I'm still not sure what it's about as I saw it while drunk at about 4 in the morning with a friend that ended up in me shouting psycho ***** at the woman in it whenever she appeared on screen....

"Sympathy for Mr Vengeance" and "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance" (I wiki'd them to find out). Are they any good? If they're even half the mind-**** Oldboy was then I'd definitely watch them.

Watched Oldboy a while ago. I went to the grocery store to pick up some dumplings after. The movie gave me a craving.

Oldboy is fantastic, great plot. Sympathy For Lady Vengeance is also very good. I wasn't so fond of Audition, just a little disappointed by the end but it was interesting enough.
