I've seen a handful of korean horror films (the wailing, train to busan, Midnight, the host) and a few others. Absolutely love their style of movie making. I know they are renowned for their horror genre, but I'm sure there must be some great non horror films as well.

Can anyone recommend some of the must watch movies? Horror or not

Burning
The Man from Nowhere

and I'm assuming you've seen it, due to how big it was, but if you haven't, then Parasite.

Definitely this one. I also liked No Tears for the Dead from the same director. Believer (2018) is solid, Netflix just put out a trailer for a sequel that will spoil the first one.

You've watched Squid Games on Netflix, right? It's a series not a movie, but do watch it if you somehow missed out on it.

My favorite. It gets elevated personally for me because I really like Lee Byung-hun too.

Thanks for all the recommendations so far. I've already added most to my watchlist, pretty sure i'm going to be consuming a lot of korean content over the coming weeks and months. I just started 'I Saw the Devil'

I forgot about that movie, it's almost like "Swiss Army Man" without Daniel Radcliffe.
