Asia: Movies Collection

by palamp • Created 13 years ago • Modified 2 weeks ago
...and asian movies i have watched.

Asia movies are very special, because they have an inner profoundness. I love them. And they are great because i can have a look on a culture far away from me! I like especially this kind of films from asia:
• Eastern (Western)
• Jidai-geki
• Wuxia

This list includes \ Movies / Animes / TV-Series \ and is still in flow... My full list of asia anime movies can be visited here:  •  My anime movies

I have sorted a top 13, but i am finally not so sure about the order.
