I have seen only a handful of films from Korea, but so far they are all very well-made. Korea has really put itself on the cinematic map in the last decade. What are some of the best Korean films you have seen to date?
My top 5
1. Oldboy
2. Memories of Murder
3. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring
4. The Host
5. Oasis

Need more suggestions!
Im about to watch sympathy for Mr vengeance. As it is posted here alot, now im ignorant as to why they say Mr Vengeance and Oldboy and Lady Vengeance is a Triology? Do they really tie in together? or what's the go.
Thanks guys!

People responding to this seem to converge on a few titles which I think are okay but hardly the best of Korean cinema. I don't have anything like a definitive list but I'll mention a few that I think are better than most of those listed.
- The Evil Twin
- The King and the Clown
- Sea Fog
- Whispering Corridors
- My Heart
- Cello
- Eungyo
- I Saw the Devil
In particular, I'm surprised to see only a couple of Kim Ki-Duk titles mentioned... and not necessarily his best. I would add definitely add Pietá and The Bow.
Parasite
My Sassy Girl
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter... and Spring
