I liked OldBoy. It's well worth a watch.
Some more on my A list:
The God's must be crazy, Pt 1 and 2. Great films!
Quest for fire, Rae Dawn Chong, not much dialog but a thousand times better than '1,000,000 BC' for instance.

Find a local place with a good supply of the more obscure stuff. Generally the staff will be people who really appreciate good films. You'll get some good recommendations and find some real hidden gems.

The first film was, Sympathy for Mr Vengence.
Second, OldBoy.
Third, Lady Vengenance.
I bought the box set, but normally rent films from an on-line site.
I got a free hammer/bottle opener with the boxset 🙂
