American movies blow. I don't know if it's my lack of interest in their subject matter, but many Hollywood movies these days seem too cookie-cutterish with too much emphasis on action and special effects, and not enough emphasis on emotion, acting, or culturality. Basically they are boring me.

I am looking in particular for some oriental movies. Stuff that needs English subtitles, because the entire movie is in a foreign language. Maybe some old movies with Jet-Li or Jackie Chan. Shit, even Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon would cater to my interests at this point. I just want something interesting to watch.

Any suggestions?

Sounds trippy. Will check this one out.

I would probably be most interested in foreign action flicks as opposed to drama or love stories.

There's a remake that was released in 2004. It's shit. Watch this Argentinean original, instead.

Internal Affairs?
