My wife made fun of me for years because of how hard I took its cancellation. I haven't heard anyone talk about it since. I'm thrilled it stands up.ReasonablySober wrote:Rewatching Reaper for the 3rd time. It's available without commercials on the ABC site. Easily my most underrated comedy of the last 10 years, up there with Happy Endings.

I didn't really see anything else this year, so I'm not speaking to it and Oscars success as I don't have a base to judge from, but I know people who freak.out. over this movie.
But again, I did really like it. I was wondering in what way the second half was going to unfold and I was not disappointed. I also was not expecting it.
Vengeance trilogy:
Oldboy
Sympathy for Mr Vengeance
Lady Vengeance
(To be clear they are not related in any way other than theme)
The Man From Nowhere
The Good the Bad and the Weird
I Saw the Devil
Bong Joon Ho movies:
Memories of Murder
Mother
The Host
That's just to get you started. It's an incredible journey and even though Parasite isnt my favorite of these it's high time Korean filmmaking is rewarded for their excellence.

I'll second that. from that list my personal faves - The Man from Nowhere, I Saw the Devil, Oldboy, Mother, The Host (which is even better if you smoke weed).
