 Baklajan:

I haven’t watched enough SK movies to have a top 16. I’ve only seen 2 that are on your list. But here is a top 10, not in any order.

Il Mare (2000)

Memories of Murder (2003)

Parasite (2019)

Sea Fog (2014)

The Throne (2015)

4th Place (2016)

Little Forest (2018)

Pipeline (2021)

The Thieves (2012)

Train to Busan (2016)

That's a cool list! I think I need to give Il mare a rewatch, I watched that one years ago.

I am also relatively new to kfilm. I've only seen about 45 films. My favorites list is also not necessarily going for acknowledged best Korean films though some apply.  In no particular order:

Steel Rain 

A Taxi Driver 

Original and recent sequel The Pirates./The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure 

Train to Busan 

The Chase 

The Gangster, the Cop, and the Devil

A Violent Prosecutor 

Assassination

Escape from Mogadishu

Midnight Runners 

Some of my faves so far, not in particular order: 

• Run Off (2016)

• The King & the Clown (2005) 

• Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter... and Spring (2003) 

• Kim Ji Young: Born 1982 (2019)

Not yet, never heard of it but that looks interesting! Added to PTW.

Your choices are great! I've yet to watch more in Korean Cinema.

Thanks. It’s a relaxing film.
