Yes, please do set up a sister comm. I was just considering joining *this* comm and thinking there's no way I can commit to reading 50 books. Glad I hit the "recs" tag just to get some ideas for what to randomly read on my own.
As for film recs, I've got a few for you already, in alphabetical order (romanized titles, since I don't know Korean/Cantonese/Thai and my comp doesn't support the characters): Agiwa Na (2008) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_and_I) AKA Baby and Me (AKA Baby and I) // Not the best film I've ever seen but cute + light-hearted. Doosaboo Ilchae (2001) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0301214/) AKA My Boss, My Hero // It's got quite a lot of violence and a couple of WTF?! moments (like the way it ends), *but* great characters and loltastic moments. There's a sequel, but more of the same and not as good. Mou gaan dou (2002) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338564/) AKA Infernal Affairs // A highly-recommended HK thriller, great acting, visual poetry + interesting symbolism and themes. Satree Lek (2000) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0263957/) AKA The Iron Ladies // Sports comedy based on a true story about a Thai team of GLBT volleyball players. I love it to bits. Detailed rec here (http://noorie.livejournal.com/113783.html) (after the nummy pics). There's a prequel, which is also nice, but not a good. Wang-ui namja (2005) (http://imdb.com/title/tt0492835/) AKA The King and the Clown // Historical drama/romance/comedy hybrid, with one of the main characters being an unforgettable, super-awesome, witty/rude clown. Yeong-hwa-neun yeong-hwa-da (2008) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1345734/) AKA Rough Cut // KICKASS!!!!!!!!!! full rec here (http://noorie.livejournal.com/221091.html).
Also, and this isn't a movie, Coffee Prince (http://topazera.livejournal.com/8542.html) will make your life better. Guarenteed.
