My Asian Film Collection

by Mcice88 | created - 24 Jun 2011 | updated - 13 Oct 2013 | Public

These are all of the Asian films that I own, and my collection is still growing.

My list features movies mainly from China, Japan & South Korea. I haven't really gotten any films from Thailand, which is my loss. Any recommendations to some great films from Thailand would be greatly appreciated.
