Some people have been highly recommending Oldboy(2003) to me,problem is,it's in Korean and I don't usually watch them. Is it worth watching if I have problems keeping up with the subtitles/audio?

There are three movies from the same director: Oldboy, Sympathy for Mr Vengeance and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (my favourite). And yes, the whole trilogy is a must.

+100, it's Vengence Trilogy. Korean Oldboy is much better than new one. Comparing to western vengence films Korean's ones are just like sweet new breeze to old topic. You won't regret it

Had it sitting there for ages. I know it's good but never felt like sitting and watching the movie by myself.

Highly recommended! Also the whole triology is really great. I don't watch Korean movies as well but these movies are awesome! :)

Korean and Japanese movies are good even though I'm neither. Some Chinese movies from directors like Zhang Yimou are awesome to say the least.

I've watched a lot of Japanese and Chinese movies (have a weakness for those) but i don't know many Korean movies.

It's not that great, the story is good but the movie itself wasn't as good as people try to make it sound. The original is much better than the remake though, I will totally agree with that.

It seems like there is a dubbed version also, but I could be wrong since I haven't seen it in about 5 years.

They're really independient, shares the same motif, though, so you could see them in any order.

If you're unsure about Korean lanugage movies, try watching Stoker. It's English, but directed by the same director, Chan-wook Park. Also, the soundtrack is by Clint Mansell, making it an unbelievable combination. Stoker's script is not as good as Oldboy's, but it has the same tension that Chan-wook Park brings.

Yes, especially if you're looking for contenders to the title "most messed up revenge plot of all time"

You really should give it a chance, it's going to be regarded as a cinema classic 10 years from now. Don't watch the English dub though, the voice overs are terrible.

Yes. Watch it dubbed if you have to, original lang is better tho.

There's an American version directed by Spike Lee. But it sucks compared to the original Korean version.

Maybe watch it but pause each time you see a long subtitle to keep up maybe?

Korean cinema is the best cinema in the world IMO. It's a shame so many people don't know about it.

Oldboy is a classic. Got 10/10 from me if I recall. Go for it.

This. Definitely watch Oldboy. Not the American remake though. Then watch I Saw The Devil afterwards. Enjoyed that just as much, if not more, as Oldboy. A Tale of Two Sisters is another good one, if you're wanting to watch some Korean horror. Should watch The Host too.
