Before any of you comment (east) asia, I want you to know that the movie I have at number 1 is a Thai film lol While it's true that this list hasn't got much diversity in it, I assure you that it isn't a matter of discrimination but rather more of a coincidence that my top 50 asian films are mostly from East Asia.
Well maybe you need to rename this list? Asia is too big of a continent & there's no south, west & central asian representation? How the hell you ignore iranian cinema at least 😂
It's a good list, no need to apologize. The average film viewer (even ones who pretend to be film-nerds) never watches anything outside of English speaking films. Although like the above commenter I would recommend checking out Edward Yang. Maborosi is my favorite film so glad it made your list. I would also highly recommend Suzaku by Naomi Kawase if you liked Maborosi or films similar to it.
46 might seem a little low but considering that I've seen hundreds of asian movies and the fact that I have a slight bias towards older movies, I think 46 is a pretty good spot for it. But I do agree that it is really enjoyable and has massive rewatch value
An amazing list. I thought no one but me had watched "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring." There are simply no words sufficient to describe this absolutely mesmerizing movie. I am a little bit surprised not to see Wong Kar-Wai's masterpiece "In the Mood For Love" on the list; instead, we see "Chungking Express" and "Fallen Angel" which are in general considered to be less accomplished work by Wong, especially the latter.
What about older Asian movies? High and Low, Seventh Samurai, Yojimbo, Hidden Fortress, Kagemusha, Ugetsu, Life of Oharu, Kwaidan, Late Spring, Tokyo Story, Tampopo, Hardboiled, more movies by Wong Kar Wai, movies by Satyajit Ray?
My favourites from Asian cinema 1. Oldboy by Park Chan Wook 2. Monster by koreeda hirokazu 3. Pather Panchali by Satyajit ray 4. Jallikattu by Lijo Jose Pellissery 5. The salesman by Asghar Farhadi 6. Parasite by Bong Joon ho 7. Nanpakal nerathu mayakkam by Lijo Jose Pellissery 8. Angamali Diaries by Lijo Jose Pellissery 9. Spirited away by Hayao Miyazaki 10. Princess mononoke by Hayao Miyazaki 11. The wind rises by Hayao Miyazaki 12. Ugly by Anurag Kashyap 13. No smoking by Anurag Kashyap These are the films i liked from Asian cinema. I haven't seen a lot of them considering i am from Asia but these are good and i highly recommand them if you haven't seen any of them.
Nice selection. last Life in the Universe is also one of my most favourite movies. We seem to have similar tastes. I enjoyed Made in Hong Kong. I'm looking forward to discovering other movies from this list!
I still have a DVD of Last Life in the Universe, I wish it got a blu ray and a criterion collection blu ray at that. And Invisible Waves is another good and loosely related to Last Life in the Universe if I remember correctly, Shoplifters is excellent as well A lot of great movies but I haven't seen Little Forest: Summer/Autumn but I'll definitely look it up
@@uhhuh5934 check out When A Woman Ascends The Stairs... also The Goddess (original)... Double Suicide (excellent movie) After Life (criterion collection) An Actor's Revenge (criterion collection) An Elephant Sitting Still (RIP the director, extremely good movie)
A really wonderful list. I don't know what it is, but the only movies I seem to want to watch are from Japan and Korea. I'm glad you included Maborosi, it's one of my favorite films, I think it was koreeda's first movie, but I have to ask, how could you have forgotten about Drive My Car?
House (1970), Seven Samurai (1954), Departures (2008), The Housemaid (1960), dreams (1990), tampopo (1980s), Ju Dou (1990), Song of exile (1990), Raise the red lantern (1991), Center stage (1991), Minbo (1992), Rebels of the neon god (1992), A brighter summers day (1991), Flirting scholar (1993), The Blue kite (1993), Farewell My Concubine (1993), Madadayo (1993), C'est la vie, mon chéri (1993), The Wedding banquet (1993), Eat Drink man woman (1994), To Live (1994), In the Heat of the Sun (1994), fallen angels (1995),
I would like recommend the films by Takeshi Kitano especially Dolls (2002) and Hana-bi (1997). They seem to be films right up your alley. I also love that you have a couple of Kim Ki-duks films on your list. He gets quite forgotten in comparison to other Korean directors like Park Chan-wook and Jong Bong-ho and imho is superior to both.
As an Asian myself, Kikujiro is a wonderful film. It’s about a Japanese boy who wants to find his mom during summer vacation. A man helps him and they go on an adventure.
Hi, I'm trying to find a movie. Maybe this is a good place to ask? It was on netflix, but it was removed v quickly. It's about rebellious youths... mainly about two brothers. They have a father who's a police officer. The two boys are often truant from school. I think the movie starts with a group of youths trashing a mans yellow sports car. Movie made in late 70s or early to mid 80s. Local cop called king kong hates the two brothers. One of the brothers tries to escape from king kong after they trash a local supermarket & out of desperation one brother grabs a bottle & smashes it & points it toward king kong. King kong shoots him dead on the spot. The other brother finds a Vietnamese girlfriend, but king kong wants her deported, she must be an illegal immigrant? Movie ends with the surviving brother taking on king kong in a shopping mall. The surviving brother tries to mow king kong down in a car (yes, the kid is driving a car in the mall) This is killing me. I've looked for months trying to find this movie. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

hey everyone! im relatively new to the film world, i would say i have not watched that many films but i do want to get into it. hence, i want yall to recommend me some young adult/ new adult asian films (be it any region, west, central, south, south east or east) that focus on the beauty of youth, the best and the worst of youth, the rage, angst, euphoria, sadness, spontaneity, naivety, the rebellious phase, everything, the beauty of love, friendship, family issues, mental health issues, just young adults/ new adults figuring out life, it could be coming of age or it could be the transition to new adulthood, please recommend me some.
I could watch only Asian cinema for the rest of my days and be very happy about it I have too many favourites to name but I love the work of Takashi Miike, Akira Kurosawa, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, John Woo, Park Chan Wook, Wong Kar Wai, Bong Joon Ho, Shinya Tsukamoto, and basically anything with samurai, serial killers, twisted psychology or heroic bloodshed 😊 Amazing list. Got a bunch of new titles I’m going to check out 😊
Please give me your top movies? Its hard to find a guy who likes Asian films. A lot of articles and reviews are by women, which don't like the same genres as me. You do! Please, please, please reply with your list of movies for me to watch. I like the genres you selected too

I watched this movie once and i forgot the name of it.... It's plot is something like there's this groups of friends who are trying to save up money to leave their town/village and go to india or something... There was a yakuza or something... Even a scene about a ghost...and definitely a home project made rocket at the end of the movie... It's Japanese, or it could be south korean film.... Og gow i wish i can see that one again...
I've seen that one twice. The story was told in such an intereting way and Failan was such a heartbreaking character. If I make a part 2 to this video then I'd definitely add failan to that list.
The last 10 years, Japanese film is so good, also who to make million dollar before grandma die, thai film, our season korean film, 2037, wolfman, train to busan, silence, soooo good films
Honestly these movies are excellent in storytelling but when I saw the title of Asian movies I thought, movies from whole Asia can be named here like Indian movies , Russian movies , Bangladeshi movies some Arabi related movies etc😔😔☹️
50 films and none from India and I don't even blame you, my country just does not make good cinema. Production houses stuck in the race of formula films just to make profits, what can I even expect lol. But still you can watch 'The Lunchbox' by Ritesh Batra. It's one of my favourite indian films :)
Ahhhhh Bro!..How did you forget Parasite(2019) and Oldboy(2003)? Seems you didn't watch any indian movies.Do watch these Indian movies it's my recomendation.. 1. Sholey(1975) 2. Gangs of wasseypur(2012) 3. Satya(1998) 4.' Apu Trilogy' by Satyajit Ray 5. 3idots(2009) 6. No smoking(2007) 8. Guzaarish(2011) 9. Swadesh(2004) 10. Dangal(2016) 11. Taare Zameen par(2007) 12. Secret Superstar(2017) 13. Koi mil geya(2003) 14. Lagaan(2001) 15. Kill(2024) Many Iconic movies left though and I didn't even add a single movie of South honestly, but try out these films. It will worth your time!👌
Maybe you should start exploring works from Indian subcontinent and middle east too. Going by your taste I think you might like quite a few no of films.
this is list of only east asian movies only from Japan, China , Hong kong and South Korea . No Indian movies, No Iranian movies at least these 2 countries should have been in your list as they make a lot of movies and Asia has like 48 countries
As I've said to multiple people the rank one pick is Thai and I've seen many films from other regions of Asia but I wouldn't put them in my top 50 as they simply weren't one of my top 50 films lol. Plus adding movies from other regions of asia isn't an obligation at all, there's a reason I watch east asian movies and that is because I have an affinity for their style of cinema over other parts of the world.
I've seen many Indian films but there's only maybe one or two that I'd put in my top 100. In terms of Edward Yang, at the time of making this list I wasn't a big fan of Taiwanese films either but that's changed now. Kobayashi and Kurosawa's movies are pre-1980s and as I mentioned in the description, this list is for movies after 1980.
I actually really enjoyed In the mood for love and think the Cambodia sequence is one of the greatest scenes in cinema history but when I was making this video I hadn't seen it in almost a decade and it didn't leave that much of an impression on me the first time. If I was to make this video today there would be a lot of changes. In the same time, I do wonder why people drop comments like this when the title says "My" favourite asian movies not the "absolute and universal top asian films" lol.
OK, there's Man From Nowhere, The Chaser, The Yellow Sea and the Wailing, Memories of Murder, Chungking Express, Departures, Shoplifters, Infernal Affairs. Good. But you didn't like Burning?
Personally I'm not the biggest Shinya Tsukamoto fan (I only really likes tokyo fist and bullet ballet). Also, I mentioned in the description that this is a list of movies after 1980 and that I'll be making a seperate list for the old gems.
Hi...Im trying to find a movie. Im only certain that it was Asian and that the first scene was very impactful, it was a cloae up of a very cluttered, very messy and disgusting flat someone lived in. I may be wrong but the whole movie may have been a little distopian. Saw it 10 years ago (not in the cinema). Help?
@lastlife7348 Abbas Kiarostami is one of The greatest of allá time. Taste of Cherry by Kiarostami, A Separation by Farhadi, The Client by Farhadi, Ten by Kiarostami, Wadjda by Haifaa al-Mansour, Capernaum by Nadine Labaki, Close Up by Kiarostami, Children of Heaven by Majid Majidi, Kandahar by Mohsen Makhmalbaf, For Sama by Waad Al-Kateab and Edward Watts.

Before any of you comment (east) asia, I want you to know that the movie I have at number 1 is a Thai film lol
While it's true that this list hasn't got much diversity in it, I assure you that it isn't a matter of discrimination but rather more of a coincidence that my top 50 asian films are mostly from East Asia.
Thank you, Respect from Kerala, Trivandrum, India (Anand shankar.v)🙏.
Well maybe you need to rename this list? Asia is too big of a continent & there's no south, west & central asian representation? How the hell you ignore iranian cinema at least 😂
You don't have much exposure to other parts of Asia it seems
East asia and no film from Edward Yang?
It's a good list, no need to apologize. The average film viewer (even ones who pretend to be film-nerds) never watches anything outside of English speaking films. Although like the above commenter I would recommend checking out Edward Yang. Maborosi is my favorite film so glad it made your list. I would also highly recommend Suzaku by Naomi Kawase if you liked Maborosi or films similar to it.
Great list! Here are some of my suggestions you may also like:
Afterlife (1998)
Confessions (2010)
Like father, like son

Thanks. I've seen those ones too, confessions is actually one of my first Japanese movies.
Better days at number 46 is very underrated. It is one of the best movies I've ever seen.
Couldn't agree with you more : ) I have rewatched it several times already.
46 might seem a little low but considering that I've seen hundreds of asian movies and the fact that I have a slight bias towards older movies, I think 46 is a pretty good spot for it. But I do agree that it is really enjoyable and has massive rewatch value

Brilliant compilation. I've seen less than half of these, but of the ones I've seen, many are in my favourites list. Great job!
Thank you. East Asian cinema is filled with gems.
Eureka (2000) is mind-blowing, I saw it at the theatres without intermission and I was encapsulated by the slowness and the sadness of it
Great list...some of my favorites are Castaway on the Moon, Burning, Beijing Bicycle,
Castaway on the moon was great, I haven't seen Beijing Bicycle yet but it seems like my sort of film. Thanks for the recommendation :)

it is it is. the difference is that there is depth in parasite while the later is very engrossing and mysterious.
Agree
Sweet bean got me a tears when i remember obachan
what is this background song?
It's the end credit theme for Breathless (2008)
I watched this movie once and i forgot the name of it.... It's plot is something like there's this groups of friends who are trying to save up money to leave their town/village and go to india or something... There was a yakuza or something... Even a scene about a ghost...and definitely a home project made rocket at the end of the movie... It's Japanese, or it could be south korean film.... Og gow i wish i can see that one again...
It's definitely 90, late 90s movie....the name is just so hard to come by and i can't see to remember it.
Check out an overlooked one Montage (2013) if you haven’t. A must see in my book.
Thanx for the video send some more plz❤
Thanks for watching. I plan on making a second part to this video soon.
Great list
I highly recommend Failan, a 2001 Korean movie starring Choi Min-Sik and Cecilia Cheung.
I've seen that one twice. The story was told in such an intereting way and Failan was such a heartbreaking character. If I make a part 2 to this video then I'd definitely add failan to that list.
all we imagine as light by Payal Kapadia(INDIA), it won Cannes Grand Prix
I'll give it a go
damn ur username hahaha
Woow!😍🤩
Old boy and parasite is also good
The last 10 years, Japanese film is so good, also who to make million dollar before grandma die, thai film, our season korean film, 2037, wolfman, train to busan, silence, soooo good films
Your dp from the k drama that was my favourite k drama of all time
I love Jewel in the Palace
Honestly these movies are excellent in storytelling but when I saw the title of Asian movies I thought, movies from whole Asia can be named here like Indian movies , Russian movies , Bangladeshi movies some Arabi related movies etc😔😔☹️
Arab movies sucks + Russia considered as Europe + delete India
What film is the thumbnail from?
my score 26/50 😅 why I never heard about 1st and 2nd movies 😮
50 films and none from India and I don't even blame you, my country just does not make good cinema. Production houses stuck in the race of formula films just to make profits, what can I even expect lol. But still you can watch 'The Lunchbox' by Ritesh Batra. It's one of my favourite indian films :)
lottle forest would be my top 5
any timestamps? cause i wanna get back to this video after I watch one of the movies in this list
A tale of two sisters is kinda sadness and traggic than scary to me
Better days 46 😢😢
Hirokazu koreeda got great movies please do check them ❤❤❤❤

Why isn't oldboy in the list
I've seen hundreds of movies and Old boy is definitely one of my favorites but it isn't in my top 50 Asian movies.
@@lastlife7348damn
You should watch Oldboy
WHERE IS OLDBOY!!!
1:25 This scene destroyed me
Maybe you should start exploring works from Indian subcontinent and middle east too. Going by your taste I think you might like quite a few no of films.
this is list of only east asian movies only from Japan, China , Hong kong and South Korea . No Indian movies, No Iranian movies at least these 2 countries should have been in your list as they make a lot of movies and Asia has like 48 countries
As I've said to multiple people the rank one pick is Thai and I've seen many films from other regions of Asia but I wouldn't put them in my top 50 as they simply weren't one of my top 50 films lol. Plus adding movies from other regions of asia isn't an obligation at all, there's a reason I watch east asian movies and that is because I have an affinity for their style of cinema over other parts of the world.
Pepperm8n Candy is best korean movie.
buen top, aunque falto poner YIYI
WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD MOVIES CAN U TELL ME WEBSITE NAME
I WATCHED MOST OF THE MOVIE BUT FEW ARE TO BE WATCHED...
sorry not sure
Don't have to download just google "Alphatron movies search"
Why indian films are not considered as a asian films
thanks you so much very profound movies
It would be better to add "east" before "asian", cause the title is misleading.
The number one pick, "Last life in the universe" is from Thailand so I can't do that.
@@lastlife7348 considering that it was myself who got roasted🤣.......but, it was epic man, you have a talent for roasting people😂
@@miyakoanand5300 I'm not roasting you lol. Thanks for checking out my video anyway.
@@lastlife7348 no issues man 🤣🤣🤣 and you're welcome 😁
No "The Last Emperor"? Wut?
Where can I watch movies like this?
Alphatron movies search
Satyajit,Kurosawa,Edward Yang,kobayashi,Kairastomi, and a lot of Indian films????????
I've seen many Indian films but there's only maybe one or two that I'd put in my top 100. In terms of Edward Yang, at the time of making this list I wasn't a big fan of Taiwanese films either but that's changed now. Kobayashi and Kurosawa's movies are pre-1980s and as I mentioned in the description, this list is for movies after 1980.
bro haven't watch yet Oldboy, Parasite, Monster
No Satyajit Ray,mrinal sen, rittwik ghotok movies☠️😭
I haven't explored south asian movies yet but I definitely will in the future
in the mood for love (2000) ?
I actually really enjoyed In the mood for love and think the Cambodia sequence is one of the greatest scenes in cinema history but when I was making this video I hadn't seen it in almost a decade and it didn't leave that much of an impression on me the first time. If I was to make this video today there would be a lot of changes. In the same time, I do wonder why people drop comments like this when the title says "My" favourite asian movies not the "absolute and universal top asian films" lol.
not a single Edward yang films
25/50 as of 07/08/2024
34/50 as of 12/16/2024
Black coal ?
Nothing from the Philippines? Silly list.
These are only FAR EASTERN ASIAN films, not ASIAN in its entirety.
I mean the number one pick is from Thailand so...
OK, there's Man From Nowhere, The Chaser, The Yellow Sea and the Wailing, Memories of Murder, Chungking Express, Departures, Shoplifters, Infernal Affairs. Good.
But you didn't like Burning?
Where are Tetsuo and Rashomon? 😨
Personally I'm not the biggest Shinya Tsukamoto fan (I only really likes tokyo fist and bullet ballet). Also, I mentioned in the description that this is a list of movies after 1980 and that I'll be making a seperate list for the old gems.
no indian films!!!!???
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oldboy is not in your top 50? Wtf?
It's good but no it's not in my top 50.
There is a Thai movie called Fan Chan (2003). Its a cute, lovely and feel good movie.
Thanks for the recommendation

Hi...Im trying to find a movie. Im only certain that it was Asian and that the first scene was very impactful, it was a cloae up of a very cluttered, very messy and disgusting flat someone lived in. I may be wrong but the whole movie may have been a little distopian. Saw it 10 years ago (not in the cinema). Help?
Ichi the kiiller? Swallowtail butterfly?
