Favourite films
In no particular order! There are a lot of short films on here, but I love the titles here despite varying lengths! I include all parts of the film if there are multiple that are split, e.g. Seven Days and 1 in 10,000 could be argued fit perfectly into one whole film, so I add them!

1. Hachiko Monogatari
Japanese Movie - 1987
I sobbed a lot through this. It was so close to a 10, but it was missing something.
-
2. The Library
Thai Movie - 2013
A short film but I can't understate the beautiful acting and the polished quality!
-
3. The Handmaiden
Korean Movie - 2016
I loved it! I remember initially finding it kinda cryptic, but I appreciate a title where I can't immediately figure out what's going on.

4. A Muse Never Drowns
Japanese Movie - 2022
Another slow Japanese film and I adored the discovery and journey the kids went through.
-
5. Killer Toon
Korean Movie - 2013
Highest rated of my thrillers! I absolutely adored it, and the twist was fun to watch, even if vaguely predictable! Perhaps was especially nice on it because I binged it immediately after watching Coming Soon, which was extremely disappointing.

6. 1 in 10,000 (Act I)
Korean Movie - 2018
Absolutely beautiful! Watched all three acts and it honestly stands higher in my book than most short GLs I've rated similarly high.
-
7. 1 in 10,000 (Act II)
Korean Movie - 2018
Act 2!
-
8. 1 in 10,000 (Act III)
Korean Movie - 2018
Act 3!

9. Seven Days: Monday - Thursday
Japanese Movie - 2015
I didn't expect I'd like it so much. But it was a simple slow film which still sticks in my mind months later. (There's two parts: Monday - Thursday and Friday - Sunday. They essentially are a full 2+ hour film split according to those days. I overall would rate this an 8, averaging out the ratings I gave for both films as I watched them with a slight delay!)

10. Seven Days: Friday - Sunday
Japanese Movie - 2015
Part 2 of the above.

11. Lei & Mar
Filipino Movie - 2023
My first title from the Philippines and it was lovely! For a low budget production made by a group of friends and the leading (irl) couple, it was relatively smooth and certainly enjoyable!

12. Crazy Little Thing Called Love
Thai Movie - 2010
