Who all has seen this movie? My personal favorite movie EVER (alongside Spirited Away I can't decide which 1 I like better so I don't try no more).

I love this movie, but really how is this not "worse" that Borat? I think graphic depictions of death are worse than some bad language.

First of all, let's not go spreading debates from one thread to another. Second, you said "I think," which means it is only your opinion. I know there are many people who do not feel the way you do.

That being said, hopefully the rest of this thread will actually focus on Battle Royale. I think it's a very well-done movie, and it really makes you think. The part that had the most effect for me was when

[spoiler]The one girl in the lighthouse used the poison and then all the other girls ended up dying because of her. And then when they all said she was the only innocent one out of the group she just couldn't hanlde it.[/spoiler]

Things like that really bring out the selfish nature of the human being. It's very violent, but it's done in a non-realistic way. For people who don't like violence, it's not a good movie, but for everyone else, I would recommend it.

Battle Royale was an interesting movie. It's pretty good, with some good acting. And of course, it has Takashi Kitano in it!

But in no way is it one of the best asian movies out there.

I do have to agree with that. I am learning from MSP just how many excellent Asian movies there are.

It's my personal favorite movie. Thats my opinion.

=p Can I recommend you some more asian movies? (Especially Korean ones) I am sure you will really enjoy them. I'm an asian movie buff myself. (Well, besides the fact that I am asian XD)

For starters, check out Joint Security Area (Or JSA for short) It's an incredibly well done, and masterful tale of brotherhood and friendship. It's pretty emotional too.

Sure! Here's a list of Asian Movies (not including anime) that I've seen:

Battle Royale
Battle Royale 2: Innocence
A Tale of Two Sisters
Ichi The Killer
Audition
Suicide Club (or Suicide Circle whatever floats your boat)
2LDK
Moon Child
Ju-On: The Grudge
Ju-On: The Curse (original before any other ones)
Dark Water
Ringu
Shikoku
Kung-Fu Hustle (it's Chinese)

i'm very inexperienced at watching asian movies but i would like to suggest that you try shoalin soccer. that's one of my favorite asian movies and the director is stephen chow (director of kung-fu hustle).

Wow... you're a horror fan? Lol I am not a fan of horror. Battle Royale 2 stank. Ichi the killer looks interesting. I'm told by some people that a tale of two sisters is INCREDIBLY scary. Dark Water looks quite interesting as well. Oh and yes, Kung-Fu Hustle is pretty good.

Here's my list. Click the underlined titles to view the trailers.
Oldboy (one of the best movies PERIOD)
Lady Vengeance (another one of the best korean movies)
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
Joint Security Area
Taegukgi: The Brotherhood of War
A Bittersweet Life
Save the green planet!
Ikiru (Akira Kurosawa film)
Battle Royale I and II
Infernal Affairs (An EXCELLENT crime drama. Features Andy Lau! There is a well-done remake of this movie that came out this year called "The Departed")
Volcano High (Don't bother. It's pretty dumb)
Attack the Gas Station
A Funny Movie (A Parody of a lot of recent Korean films. VERY Funny if you watch a lot of korean movies)
Swiri
Memories of Murder (Excellent korean police drama)
Peppermint Candy (One of my favorite movies)
Running out of Time (Also with Andy Lau)
Hero
The Host (EXTREMELY well done Korean Monster movie. Just came out this year)

A few of those I've been meaning to check out. Thanx for the list! Ichi The Killer was a VERY good movie but watch at your own risk. It has lots of sexual content (including rape) and MOUNDS of violence. The main reason BRII was so horrible was because we were expecting a movie like BR, what we got was BRII. It wasn't so horrible as just, bleh. A Tale of Two Sisters wasn't scary (but then again I don't get scared easily at all) but Dark Water did freak me out (try taking a **** after watching that movie!).

And yes I love horror movies!
