1) Oldboy (2003)
Oldboy is a visceral journey of revenge, steeped in mystery and psychological torment. The main character, Oh Dae-su, inexplicably imprisoned for 15 years, is suddenly released without any explanation and, therefore, compelled to find the sinister conspiracy behind his suffering. The more he cuts through layers of deception, the more shocking the truth reveals the blurred lines between victim and villain. Raw brutality with a heavily emotive story makes this film a leave-me-alive-and-not-forget impact. That famous one-take hallway fight and that jaw-dropping twist solidify Oldboy as a unforgettable journey through vengeance and its haunting afterlife.
