Who makes the best Asian movies?

[MakahaMusic]

In the far east, who do you think makes the best movies: Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, mainland China, or Taiwan?

And what are your reasons?

Hong Kong movies like HARD BOILED starring Chow Yun Fat

80s/90s hong kong had action on lock down.

overall, i think japan takes the crown. a lot of excellent films come from the land of the rising sun, a large chunk being from japanese new wave.

For horror, between Japan and Thai... (But Thai would take the cake these days because there are many fugly Thai actors perfect for horror movies so it helps a lot)

I just watched The Raid Redemption, it's not East Asian, but it's from Indonesia....

But man, what a great action film!!

Also, Ong Bak was a great action film, not much of a story really, but the martial arts was fantastic!!

And Ong Bak was from Thailand....

[Guest ysgoguma4339]

I think Thailand and Korea.

hong kong and korea.Although hong kong movies have gone downhill in recent times with a few gems and koreans movies have remained steady and box office still going strong.

From what little I've seen, I'm going with China. House of the Flying Daggers and Hwa Mulan are my top two favourite movies. Totally blew my miiiind

I like Korean and Japanese movies the most. Both make good live-action AND animated movies, but I tend to watch more animated Japanese movies, and live-action Korean movies.

Japan and Korea makes the best movies for story content but China/Hong Hong makes the most beautiful when it comes to cinemintography

[Guest Paulina Morán]

Japan. They make beautiful and sick movies. For them; films are art before something commercial. There's a lot of Indie films as well. The directors are super visionary and I love their scripts; so well written. They still look for actors and actress that can act instead of just being goog looking, like happends sometimes in Korea, for example. I may not be a film expert, so it's just my opinion. I love Norwegian Wood.

In general, personally I'd say Japanese. I like that they keep it as "raw" as possible, meaning it comes off unpretentious & organic. I find Japanese filmmakers make films that're catered to the human spirit in that it has universal themes.While I love Korean films/dramas, etc. I do feel they tend to look too "perfect'', glossy in production, etc. A little too "pretty" y'know what I mean? And their storytelling definitely needs some finesse. Like I notice they start off great and then they tend to fizzle out toward the end. Resulting in it being mediocre. Despite that, I find Koreans shows addictive, appealing.   

[Guest AmoreS2]

It used to be Hong Kong.
Korean movies are great these days. 
Japanese movies seem to be a bit repetitive. 

[Guest exoel_stv]

I like the story line in Hong Kong films even though sometimes there a bit cliche and cheesy?

[Guest anonemous]

I really like Jackie Chan's Police Story series for Crime/drama in Chinese film.
