Another film from Park Chan-wook, 2003’s Oldboy is a classic crime thriller and a must-see for all film fans. Technically, the entire unofficial “Vengeance Trilogy” by Park, which consists of 2002’s Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, and the 2005 film Lady Vengeance, should probably be on this list, but Oldboy is arguably the best of the bunch. Th...
