"I used to have the DVD a long time ago, but Park Chan-Wook borrowed it." What a badass line
Yeah.
And never gave it back
Park Chan-Wook, another legendary director.

@I drink your milkshake Good one!
Tess (polanski)
Tokyo Story (ozu)
Throne of Blood (kurosawa)

Picnic at Hanging Rock (weir)
Oshima Nagisa, Eclipse Series 21: Outlaw Sixties
Qatsi Trilogi (reggio)
The Devil's Backbone (del toro)
Medium Cool (wexler)
Repo Man (cox)
Awesome, thanks for making the short list. I couldn't tell what he said for Del Toro, plus I want to make sure and watch everything on it!
All excellent picks he chose. *thumbs up for Bong*
There are also movies appearing in his stack with no explanation; even the first movie he is shown holding got skipped! It was really tough for me to see the titles of these extras, except for Harold and Maude, which can be seen clearly.
Here's to fan's of top quality cinema!
Breaking the Waves - Lars Von Trier (first dvd in Bong Joon Ho's hands, check out 2:26)
Harold and Maude - Hal Ashby (check out 2:25 / 2:33)
Rosemary's Baby - Roman Polanski (this was tough to see, but look at 2:42)
Thank you. I love you.
Thanks man
The fact that Park Chan Wook never returned his copy of Medium Cool is amazing.
Christian Berger I hope they’re best friends. I really want that for some reason.
@@0axel078 Sure they are :) Just a poker faced filmmaker telling some fun stories
We all have at least one mate like that
@@TheWaynos73 at least 👍😂
And here we are in 2019 and he's made one of the best films of this year.
@@JaySeal108 i watched it and didn't liked it that much. Can someone explain to me why it's so highly rated by everyone??
@@blokkka9inety293 You could have read 100 reviews by now...
blokkka9inety2 I dint quite understand why it was celebrated that much but certainly a very important film for the times we live in .
@@larsthurgood811 I've read some, even before watching the movie, and none of them could clearly state why this movie is so brilliant. It's always the same "class" blah blah...
I think it’s gonna become a classic, it is brilliant.
One day people will come to Criterion and pick out Bong Joon Ho's films. I have such admiration for his works.
Your prediction has come true. Parasite for sure would get a Criterion release.
What a moviestradamus!
You sir were extremely right!
@@KING-ri2vs and Memories of Murder
👍🏽👏🏽
Park Chan-wook stole his Medium Cool DVD, that's brilliant.
+asderc1 its funny because hes not even laughing about it. like park chan is known for stealing other directors dvds
+laurence. S Really ? XD lol which other director's did he steal from??
Well, five years later and we're here... congratulations Bong!
besides memories of murder, his 'Mother' was so underrated masterpiece.
One of the best endings of any film ever.
나도 그렇게 생각합니다.
Parasite and Memories of Murder need their own criterion editions, ASAP!
Not really , parasite is a pop corn movie . this is a classic move by Oscar , they felt bad about missing out on memories of murder and try to compensate it with parasite. Parasite will be forgotten like moonlight!
yones moloodi I’m guessing your favourite movie didn’t win best picture?
yones moloodi isn't wrong. It's a good film but like he said, its a popcorn movie.
Astro nahhh. It’s much more than just popcorn entertainment and it won’t be forgotten cause it’s literally the FIRST foreign-language film to win best picture. Oh and it also won the Palme D’or, so yeah, it’s definitely mindless popcorn entertainment.....
@@aaronshouting588 Its a popcorn movie. That's why it got nominated for the Oscar's in the first place. Parasite is filled with Hollywood tropes and cliches.
Memories of Murder is a much better thought provoking film.
So, I guess the time is ripe for Memories Of Murder in the Criterion family...
+Slask Burton That would be awesome.
I've seen it! DEFINITELY deserves to be in that family. As well as Snowpiercer I would say.
Never happened. Sad
IT STILL NEEDS TO HAPPEN GODDAMNIT
Think that's gotta be my fave too. The naivity turning to such intensity by the end. And how it just leaves everyone hanging. But then that's Bong's trademark in all his movies. LOL Don't know what Criterion could do with the supplements? I'm happy for the extras on the current DVDs, but they're so fast and loose. Would be nice to see Criterion tighten them up and/or give more depth.
I like how he just flows in and out between Korean and English
Am I the only one who finds it really really funny that Chan-Wook Pak stole one of his DVD's?
Just watched Snowpiercer last night! Such a good film.
+xRadicalAurax it's good, but Memories of Murder and The Host are fucking awesome.
+Juan P Memories of Murder is his best. Snowpiercer is right behind. The Host is also very good, underrated monster film.
+Infametheus To me Mother is his masterpiece. But, basically all of his filmography is great. just one hell of a filmmaker.
twotonkatrucks Memories of Murder and The Host are my favs. Mother is brilliant also. His 3 best imo.
Now i understand why his films never fails!
PALME D’OR 2019
I'm going to become a filmmaker just so I can do one of these criterion dvd's picks
@d d ....what?
I can't wait to see "Okja", his next feature film.
J.J. Ginger ikr
hope you saw, it's pretty good
Of course the man who directed Memories of Murder would pick Picnic at Hanging Rock.
Bong seems like such a swell guy. I just wish I could speak Korean so I could have a conversation with him lol
The way he talks is so calm like a scientist.
Some people make films to win awards. This man makes films to visit the criterion vault. Goals.
I watched yesterday Memoirs from a murder. And now i found this... Thank you Criterion. These videos are amazing recomendations : )
Great to see Bong's picks. He has such varied and intense tastes! Looking so forward to his new film Parasite. Safe to say my fave film maker of the new millennium! :-)
Congrats on the Best Picture win for Parasite!
And now he has 4 oscars
Absolutely yes, Kurosawa's Throne of Blood is not only the best Macbeth adaptation but also the best Shakespeare film adaptation ever. A true masterpiece. And btw I must say, it's curious how most reputated directors love Repo Man.
would this mean that any of joon-ho's films will come to criterion. i hope that happens along with the films of chan-wook park and maybe an eclipse set on the gems of korean cinema.
Guillermo del Toro, Bong Joon Ho and Quentin Tarantino just makes you feel their passion and love for Movies.
I love watching these. Have a modest but cherished collection myself, maybe 20 or so titles, so far. I saw Parasite in the theater last year, bought the bluray but then saw it was being released in a Criterion Collection Director's Cut so hope to add that soon. I think Memories Of Murder is released as a Criterion next month. I have many of his films to see yet, like Mother & earlier films, but The Host was very intense and memorable years back seeing it the first time and still realistic visual effects. Parasite is phenomenal of course and Snowpiercer is not bad, especially for a more American influenced film.
bong joon ho is the first person i have seen in any of these closet videos take any oshima nagisa films! oshima is an underrated genius!
Parasite was the first Korean movie I’ve ever seen - BJH is a freaking genius ❤
i hope someday i may be in his spot and be able to pick up a copy of parasite
Criterion, I think we are ready for the Bong collection.
Like a kid in the video store. Love it.
I'm super happy that Picnic at Hanging Rock is getting some love :3 I didn't know that people outside of Australia knew about the film
picnic at hanging rock is possibly the film I think about most frequently, not necessarily the best, but I love it and it haunts me
Who's here after his win at the Oscars
It's funny: When you're poor and living day to day, you struggle so hard to save money for the things you love. If you attain a certain level of fame or wealth, people just give you these things for free. I remember spending my last $20 on a Criterion edition of The Life Aquatic when I was 18 years old and being so happy when I plopped the DVD into my PS2 when I got home. I wonder if I would still remember the feeling if it had been easier to attain. Great picks by Bong Joon Ho, and I agree with him regarding Throne of Blood.
The fact that first pick of one of my fav directors is Tess by another fav director of mine... yay!
Anyone who selects a Peter Weir film gets my attention. The man never made a bad one - even The Cars That Ate Paris.
This has an unintentional asmr vibe
We need a Bong Joon-ho box set with Mother, The Host, & Okja
Bong Joon Ho should do a movie in French
*big love from india sir* great Film maker
He would later write and direct the perfect film.
this closet series has so much potential. can y’all plz hire someone to make it good? like wtf is this lighting
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone point out #specialfeatures on these criterion collection videos
So many great directors have picked out Alex Cox films.
*Parasite* is such a good ass movie. On Hulu now if u haven’t seen it. 🙏🏼👏🏼
lol repo man... im not surprised, its insane how many times directors picked it from the collection... btw Parasite is a masterpiece (just like Memories of Murder)
best director of this century
I'm getting dis notification after Bong Joon-ho won Oscar.
뛰어난 감독이자 영화애호가 봉준호 감독의 크라이테리언 작품 고르는 눈과 소소한 이야기 재미있었습니다!!
3:13 박찬욱이 잘못했네
Congrats for Oscar Best Picture "Parasite"
Get david lynch in the closet!!!!
Now it’s time to add Parasite! And please include the black & white version as well
They did! Bought it immediately.
And now Parasite is coming to the Collection!
Finally some good movies
Someone give the man a basket!
I made a movie! When are you going to invite me over there?
dannydontgoin237 Is it a cult hit or critically acclaimed or do you have a respectful following? If yes then sure.
I really didn't like Snowpiercer. You know who would be awesome to invite to the closet? Pedro Almodovar.
Well done selection. But give this man a bag!
throne of blood OVER ran any day
NO! :)
best Kurosawa film
OrphanSeasun
it IS close race...i love both
+rss313 I would be glad to make a movie half as good as either of them
The cinematography of this little exercise totally sucks.
that's because they're not filmmakers, they're film restorers, bozo!
You can see the influence of his mentor, Crackpipe October.
Joon Ho did exactly what I would've done if I were in that closet. Clean them out.
09/02/2020 - The Oscar Goes To...
" Parasita. " " Só um cinéfilo entende outro. " Jamais esquecerei esse dia! 😉 💪🏻 🙌🏻 👏🏻
No doubt Parasite was great. But I still feel " Memories of Murder " is his finest work . What a masterpiece.
I always knew Park Chan-wook was a borrows-a-DVD-and-never-returns-it kinda guy.
Movies are appearing in his stack with no explanation; the first movie he's holding was skipped! It was tough to see the film titles, except for Harold and Maude, which can be seen clearly.
Breaking the Waves - Lars Von Trier (first dvd in Bong Joon Ho's hands, check out 2:26)
Harold and Maude - Hal Ashby (check out 2:25 / 2:33)
Rosemary's Baby - Roman Polanski (this was tough to discern, but look at 2:42)
Here's to fans of quality cinema!
Funnily enough someone did the same with my copy of the Korean special edition of Old Boy and the soundtrack
@@joemontecalvo It was Tess from Polanski. No Rosemary´s Baby
@@joemontecalvo He even mentioned he was a fan of Nassasja Kinski.
@@joemontecalvo There is also Tokyo Story by Ozu, The wages of fear by Clouzot, which he doesnt pick and Picnic at hanging rock.
Director Bong looks like a kid left by his mom in a candy store.
he just looks like every single korean playing counterstrike in the pc bangs in 2000
LOL😄😄
Lmao 🤣
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Dammit!!! I comented something similar, and now I look like I copied you!!
2014 - Legend in Korea
2020 - Legend worldwide
He’s always been a worldwide legend. He’s just now getting the recognition he deserves!
@@aaronshouting588 yeah since he was a baby child
@ LMFAO
@@americafuckyeah4520 why you re laughing ? He is a master since baby
@@joaocoutinho25 he was a degenerate baby, it wasn't until he was a toddler did he finally try to do something with his life.
Memories of Murder is a masterpiece. Should be in the collection by now.
@Vincent H. I think parasite has pasted it
Absolutely !
@Vincent H. I saw it yesterday and it was awesome and creepy.
@Vincent H. Memories of Murder was terrible lmao, nothing even happened the entire movie. And why are korean police always so incompetent?
@@Digger-Nick You're pathetic. Go watch Avengers nonsense with all that ignorance
He must now seek vengeance upon Park Chan-wook for never returning his movie.
It've been hilarious if he also picked "Vengeance Is Mine" for that very reason.
😆😆👍👍
As we speak, he's breaking into Chan-wook's house and beating him with his four Oscars.
I see what u did there, let's hope this memories don't bring any murder, they are 2 old boys by now, and none of them is monster although that DVD thing is a really parasitic conduct.
@@nicanornunez9787 Park Chan Wook is a a 'parasite' to 'the host' Bong Joon Ho . BJH's 'mother' is really angry on him . So PCW has arranged a ' joint security area ' to defend himself from the
' thirst ' of BJH .
And that Ladies and Gentlemen is Four Time Academy Award winner, Bong Joon-Ho.
Sairaj Bhor well deserved
이게 한국인이다
technically three, foreign feature film is to the country of south korea
He admired Scorsese untill yesterday, now they study his films in the Korean schools along with Scorsese, Spillberg and Nolan...
A legend
This guy is one of the best filmmakers working today
Chris Kostaras YESSS
this aged well
Who are here after the Oscars? And Mr.Park please return the DVD disc of Medium Cool to Mr.Bong as soon as possible(if you haven't returned yet)
And, in 2020 his film is a best picture winner at the Oscars.
actually four of his films
No lol
and in the Criterion
Wasn’t that great
Park chan wook also should win an Oscar soon
Bong is the cutest living director in the world
Are you gay??? More to the point. It's doubtless due to that society's ovrall lack of self esteem. (Note how he picks many Japanese films. Japanese look down on Koreans like whites looked down on blacks historically.) Plastic surgery is a fad right now and 2/3 of South Korean adult society has had plastic surgery. (See BTS) I'm sure that has much to do with his "cuteness."
@@smotnick Pretty sure he wasn't talking about "cute" in an attractive sense and I think was more about his personality/mannerisms than his looks.
@@smotnick You're an even sicker puppy than TK, which was a pretty off the cuff remark. But you, your comments are filled with years of gruesome neuroses and prejudices. Can I recommend some plastic surgery on your brain? A lobotomy might also work.

Rewatching this after Director Bong's win at Cannes. Can we get Memories of Murder now on Blu Ray? :)
It's already out, not cc tho
And now my man won a oscar
I just received Memories of Murder in the mail a few days ago. It’s the Blu Ray in the Criterion Collection.
@@michaelrey2159 Already have the Blu Ray! :) My dream came true
When are we getting memories of murder on criterion?!
Now we´re here and the man has won 4 Oscars
February 9,2020 this man made History
Ughh this man totally deserved all his awards!!!!. parasite was one of the best films I’ve seen in 2019. Congrats bong!!!
What about Twilight??
Great director -- hope he's in the Collection soon. The Host is a brilliant satire -- not of monster movies but of modern Korean family life.
He did Memories of Murder that's more than enough to go in the film history as master.
Can we get a criterion version of Parasite & memories of murder?
you asked, they delivered
Parasite is probably the best movie in 2019 for now
One of the best movies of the decade
@@daebak7370 One of the best movies in history
Vincent H. He’s right tbh. It’s only gonna rise in the lists. I can see it ranking in sight and sounds next greatest of all the list. And even TSPDT list.
2020: "Hold my beer..."
"Can't believe I'm actually here..." His look of awe at 2:17 is great.
LOL Park Chan Wook robbed him hahaha
I think we can conclude one thing from looking at this comment section: people want their memories of murder criterion.
Also, may I add that I am apart of this group
@@shoppingtrollyrebel2985 You're apart from it, or a part of it?
Take as much as you can hold: is that the rule?
I would go in there with my *bag!!!* =]
***** So did Guy Maddin =]
***** Cuaron had no mercy.
Derek Power Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Maddin is so far the only visitor to take his own film amongst his picks. Pretty badass imo.
Step to the closet with my Hammer pants on / Get more discs than Alfonso Cuarón
Petition for Park Chan Wook to return the DVD!
WELL DESERVED OSCAR!

Parasite made the noise to look after this genius.But,in my heart,Memories of murder will always be the best.
Agree!
And he won 4 Oscars today
Just saw parasite great film, it's definitely going in The Criterion Collection in the furture.
Americans are going to complain that the video has subtitles.
