Asian Films
This is a list I curated of some of my favorite asian films that I believe I enjoyed watching and left a good, lasting impression. I still have so much in mind but they’re unavailable on this platform.
By the way, I have a separate playlist just for my favorite south korean films. You might want to check it out if you’re looking to try some: K-Films That I Really Enjoyed and You Might Too.
