- 'Oldboy' (2003) Park Chan-wook's best film also happens to be his grittiest, as well as his most violent and confronting. That film was the legendary Oldboy from 2003, which arguably ranks as one of the greatest revenge movies of all time and is easily the highlight of Park's Vengeance Trilogy.
- 'The Handmaiden' (2016) The Handmaiden is arguably Park Chan-wook's most romantic film and one of his best. It takes place in Korea during the 1930s and revolves around a swindler and his associate posing as people they're not to steal the fortune of a Japanese heiress.
- 'Joint Security Area' (2000) Though it was his third movie, Joint Security Area was the first Park Chan-wook movie to feel like something truly great, and it, therefore, helped put him on the map as a filmmaker to watch.
- 'Decision to Leave' (2022) The best way to describe Decision to Leave would be to say it's one of the most dizzying and disorientating psychological thrillers in recent memory but in a good way.
