So many memorable scenes, in particular the dinner at Henry's girlfriend's house!
And, how the hell did he/they make that mutant baby?! - amazing!

'Oldboy' - bumped this one up my to-watch pile after my brother told me that it's a masterpiece. I didn't think it was quite a masterpiece, but I did thoroughly enjoy it, and I'm keen to check out Park's other films.
Eraserhead is Top10 Cinema for me, a film that never ceases to amaze me everytime I see it. I think Criterion are putting this out on Blu in the near future...

I'm probably in the minority here in saying that Oldboy left me completely underwhelmed, I just did not like this movie, but the door is always open to see it again for a reappraisal...
