"I used to have the DVD a long time ago, but Park Chan-Wook borrowed it." What a badass line
Yeah.
And never gave it back
Park Chan-Wook, another legendary director.
@@manvithharikiran2675
Bong keeps Park Chan Wook in a room for 15 years, because of the never returned dvd
@@manvithharikiran2675 lol
I always knew Park Chan-wook was a borrows-a-DVD-and-never-returns-it kinda guy.
Movies are appearing in his stack with no explanation; the first movie he's holding was skipped! It was tough to see the film titles, except for Harold and Maude, which can be seen clearly.
Breaking the Waves - Lars Von Trier (first dvd in Bong Joon Ho's hands, check out 2:26)
Harold and Maude - Hal Ashby (check out 2:25 / 2:33)
Rosemary's Baby - Roman Polanski (this was tough to discern, but look at 2:42)
Here's to fans of quality cinema!
Funnily enough someone did the same with my copy of the Korean special edition of Old Boy and the soundtrack
@@joemontecalvo It was Tess from Polanski. No Rosemary´s Baby
@@joemontecalvo He even mentioned he was a fan of Nassasja Kinski.
@@joemontecalvo There is also Tokyo Story by Ozu, The wages of fear by Clouzot, which he doesnt pick and Picnic at hanging rock.
2014 - Legend in Korea
2020 - Legend worldwide
He’s always been a worldwide legend. He’s just now getting the recognition he deserves!
@@aaronshouting588 yeah since he was a baby child
@ LMFAO
@@americafuckyeah4520 why you re laughing ? He is a master since baby
@@joaocoutinho25 he was a degenerate baby, it wasn't until he was a toddler did he finally try to do something with his life.
Director Bong looks like a kid left by his mom in a candy store.
he just looks like every single korean playing counterstrike in the pc bangs in 2000
LOL😄😄
Lmao 🤣
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Dammit!!! I comented something similar, and now I look like I copied you!!
Memories of Murder is a masterpiece. Should be in the collection by now.
@Vincent H. I think parasite has pasted it
Absolutely !
@Vincent H. I saw it yesterday and it was awesome and creepy.
@Vincent H. Memories of Murder was terrible lmao, nothing even happened the entire movie. And why are korean police always so incompetent?
@@Digger-Nick You're pathetic. Go watch Avengers nonsense with all that ignorance
The fact that Park Chan Wook never returned his copy of Medium Cool is amazing.
Christian Berger I hope they’re best friends. I really want that for some reason.
@@0axel078 Sure they are :) Just a poker faced filmmaker telling some fun stories
We all have at least one mate like that
@@TheWaynos73 at least 👍😂
Tess (polanski)
Tokyo Story (ozu)
Throne of Blood (kurosawa)
Black Orpheus (camus)
Wages of Fear (clouzot)
Picnic at Hanging Rock (weir)
Oshima Nagisa, Eclipse Series 21: Outlaw Sixties
Qatsi Trilogi (reggio)
The Devil's Backbone (del toro)
Medium Cool (wexler)
Repo Man (cox)
Awesome, thanks for making the short list. I couldn't tell what he said for Del Toro, plus I want to make sure and watch everything on it!
All excellent picks he chose. *thumbs up for Bong*
There are also movies appearing in his stack with no explanation; even the first movie he is shown holding got skipped! It was really tough for me to see the titles of these extras, except for Harold and Maude, which can be seen clearly.
Here's to fan's of top quality cinema!
Breaking the Waves - Lars Von Trier (first dvd in Bong Joon Ho's hands, check out 2:26)
Harold and Maude - Hal Ashby (check out 2:25 / 2:33)
Rosemary's Baby - Roman Polanski (this was tough to see, but look at 2:42)
Thank you. I love you.
Thanks man
He must now seek vengeance upon Park Chan-wook for never returning his movie.
It've been hilarious if he also picked "Vengeance Is Mine" for that very reason.
😆😆👍👍
As we speak, he's breaking into Chan-wook's house and beating him with his four Oscars.
I see what u did there, let's hope this memories don't bring any murder, they are 2 old boys by now, and none of them is monster although that DVD thing is a really parasitic conduct.
@@nicanornunez9787 Park Chan Wook is a a 'parasite' to 'the host' Bong Joon Ho . BJH's 'mother' is really angry on him . So PCW has arranged a ' joint security area ' to defend himself from the
' thirst ' of BJH .
And that Ladies and Gentlemen is Four Time Academy Award winner, Bong Joon-Ho.
Sairaj Bhor well deserved
이게 한국인이다
technically three, foreign feature film is to the country of south korea
He admired Scorsese untill yesterday, now they study his films in the Korean schools along with Scorsese, Spillberg and Nolan...
A legend
And here we are in 2019 and he's made one of the best films of this year.
@@JaySeal108 i watched it and didn't liked it that much. Can someone explain to me why it's so highly rated by everyone??
@@blokkka9inety293 You could have read 100 reviews by now...
blokkka9inety2 I dint quite understand why it was celebrated that much but certainly a very important film for the times we live in .
@@larsthurgood811 I've read some, even before watching the movie, and none of them could clearly state why this movie is so brilliant. It's always the same "class" blah blah...
I think it’s gonna become a classic, it is brilliant.
Park Chan-wook stole his Medium Cool DVD, that's brilliant.
+asderc1 its funny because hes not even laughing about it. like park chan is known for stealing other directors dvds
+laurence. S Really ? XD lol which other director's did he steal from??
One day people will come to Criterion and pick out Bong Joon Ho's films. I have such admiration for his works.
Your prediction has come true. Parasite for sure would get a Criterion release.
What a moviestradamus!
You sir were extremely right!
@@KING-ri2vs and Memories of Murder
👍🏽👏🏽
This guy is one of the best filmmakers working today
Chris Kostaras YESSS
this aged well
And, in 2020 his film is a best picture winner at the Oscars.
actually four of his films
No lol
and in the Criterion
Wasn’t that great
Park chan wook also should win an Oscar soon
Who are here after the Oscars? And Mr.Park please return the DVD disc of Medium Cool to Mr.Bong as soon as possible(if you haven't returned yet)
"Can't believe I'm actually here..." His look of awe at 2:17 is great.
Bong is the cutest living director in the world
Are you gay??? More to the point. It's doubtless due to that society's ovrall lack of self esteem. (Note how he picks many Japanese films. Japanese look down on Koreans like whites looked down on blacks historically.) Plastic surgery is a fad right now and 2/3 of South Korean adult society has had plastic surgery. (See BTS) I'm sure that has much to do with his "cuteness."
@@smotnick Pretty sure he wasn't talking about "cute" in an attractive sense and I think was more about his personality/mannerisms than his looks.
@@smotnick You're an even sicker puppy than TK, which was a pretty off the cuff remark. But you, your comments are filled with years of gruesome neuroses and prejudices. Can I recommend some plastic surgery on your brain? A lobotomy might also work.

Ughh this man totally deserved all his awards!!!!. parasite was one of the best films I’ve seen in 2019. Congrats bong!!!
What about Twilight??
Well, five years later and we're here... congratulations Bong!
Rewatching this after Director Bong's win at Cannes. Can we get Memories of Murder now on Blu Ray? :)
It's already out, not cc tho
And now my man won a oscar
I just received Memories of Murder in the mail a few days ago. It’s the Blu Ray in the Criterion Collection.
@@michaelrey2159 Already have the Blu Ray! :) My dream came true
besides memories of murder, his 'Mother' was so underrated masterpiece.
One of the best endings of any film ever.
나도 그렇게 생각합니다.
Great director -- hope he's in the Collection soon. The Host is a brilliant satire -- not of monster movies but of modern Korean family life.
So, I guess the time is ripe for Memories Of Murder in the Criterion family...
+Slask Burton That would be awesome.
I've seen it! DEFINITELY deserves to be in that family. As well as Snowpiercer I would say.
Never happened. Sad
IT STILL NEEDS TO HAPPEN GODDAMNIT
Think that's gotta be my fave too. The naivity turning to such intensity by the end. And how it just leaves everyone hanging. But then that's Bong's trademark in all his movies. LOL Don't know what Criterion could do with the supplements? I'm happy for the extras on the current DVDs, but they're so fast and loose. Would be nice to see Criterion tighten them up and/or give more depth.
He did Memories of Murder that's more than enough to go in the film history as master.
February 9,2020 this man made History
Parasite and Memories of Murder need their own criterion editions, ASAP!
Not really , parasite is a pop corn movie . this is a classic move by Oscar , they felt bad about missing out on memories of murder and try to compensate it with parasite. Parasite will be forgotten like moonlight!
yones moloodi I’m guessing your favourite movie didn’t win best picture?
yones moloodi isn't wrong. It's a good film but like he said, its a popcorn movie.
Astro nahhh. It’s much more than just popcorn entertainment and it won’t be forgotten cause it’s literally the FIRST foreign-language film to win best picture. Oh and it also won the Palme D’or, so yeah, it’s definitely mindless popcorn entertainment.....
@@aaronshouting588 Its a popcorn movie. That's why it got nominated for the Oscar's in the first place. Parasite is filled with Hollywood tropes and cliches.
Memories of Murder is a much better thought provoking film.
Am I the only one who finds it really really funny that Chan-Wook Pak stole one of his DVD's?
Now we´re here and the man has won 4 Oscars
I like how he just flows in and out between Korean and English
As someone who loves Peter Weir and Picnic at Hanging Rock in particular, it makes me incredibly happy to see Bong Joon Ho praise it!
When are we getting memories of murder on criterion?!
His movie, Parasite, will be in that closet as well. Congrats to you for your unprecedented Oscar victories.
And now this man is recognized among the greatest
This man has made at least one absolute masterpiece and perhaps two. Memories of Murder is such a powerful film. Its sense of the time and place (1986 rural South Korea) are the most evocative I have ever seen. It sticks in my mind even now. If you haven't seen it, you should.
4-time Academy Award winner Bong Joon-Ho. That is amazing
Just watched Snowpiercer last night! Such a good film.
+xRadicalAurax it's good, but Memories of Murder and The Host are fucking awesome.
+Juan P Memories of Murder is his best. Snowpiercer is right behind. The Host is also very good, underrated monster film.
+Infametheus To me Mother is his masterpiece. But, basically all of his filmography is great. just one hell of a filmmaker.
twotonkatrucks Memories of Murder and The Host are my favs. Mother is brilliant also. His 3 best imo.
I'm going to become a filmmaker just so I can do one of these criterion dvd's picks
@d d ....what?
It would be the most magical thing if him and Del Toro collaborated on one masterpiece of a film
mansinthe marc
that would be like... 2 feature films of those 2 talking. i would pay to see that.
po1s0ned I just had an orgasm
I would like to see that happen... times 3!!
I love this man. I'm so grateful we have bright filmmakers like him. He's a breath of fresh air.
Now i understand why his films never fails!
Bong Joon Ho is the best person i came across in 2020. He is cute, humble, a brilliant film maker, an absolute master storyteller. Such a lovely person. Sure to watch all his films.
WELL DESERVED OSCAR!
LOVE FROM INDIA 🇮🇳
Petition for Park Chan Wook to return the DVD!
Parasite is probably the best movie in 2019 for now
One of the best movies of the decade
@@daebak7370 One of the best movies in history
Vincent H. He’s right tbh. It’s only gonna rise in the lists. I can see it ranking in sight and sounds next greatest of all the list. And even TSPDT list.
2020: "Hold my beer..."
PALME D’OR 2019
That is so cool that he just supported "Pan's Labyrinth", I remember both that one and Joon Ho's "The Host" coming out around the same time, and I was so enamored with both. Very talented directors, and both their Criterion picks are a joy to watch.
This was in 2014. Six years later, he is 4-time Oscar award winner. You've come a long way..
Can we get a criterion version of Parasite & memories of murder?
you asked, they delivered
Director Bong will be studied and admired for generations
Of course the man who directed Memories of Murder would pick Picnic at Hanging Rock.
Nice to see we have similar taste - I own all of these titles (apart from the Oshima set but I do own every Oshima film I could get my hands on in HD, in the UK at least). I saw Koyaanisqatsi in primary school and it left a big impression on me. Also I actually met Park Chan-wook once but didn't lend him my copy of Medium Cool (phew).
How did you get to meet Park Chan-Wook?
@@andrewyang1993 Happened to win tickets to the Stoker premiere in Soho, London and met him afterwards (Nic Roeg was apparently in attendance but I didn't see him; was too nervous to approach Nicole Kidman though!). Managed to get his autograph thanks to his PA who had a pencil in his bag! :)
I can't wait to see "Okja", his next feature film.
J.J. Ginger ikr
hope you saw, it's pretty good
Just saw parasite great film, it's definitely going in The Criterion Collection in the furture.
And he won 4 Oscars today
1. (mysterious first movie) harold and maude?
2. tess
3. tokyo story
4. throne of blood
5. black orpheus
6. wages of fear
7. picnic at hanging rock
8. the films of oshima nagisa
9. the qatsi trilogy
10. the devils backbone
11. medium cool
12. repo man
I like it when they really go for it. He goes for it here. Like a kid in a candy store.
You will win an Oscar award in 5 years
Here after seeing Parasite, what great genius this guy is...
I love watching these. Have a modest but cherished collection myself, maybe 20 or so titles, so far. I saw Parasite in the theater last year, bought the bluray but then saw it was being released in a Criterion Collection Director's Cut so hope to add that soon. I think Memories Of Murder is released as a Criterion next month. I have many of his films to see yet, like Mother & earlier films, but The Host was very intense and memorable years back seeing it the first time and still realistic visual effects. Parasite is phenomenal of course and Snowpiercer is not bad, especially for a more American influenced film.
Director Bong Joon-ho is such a movie buff! I must watch all the movies you recommended! I'm looking forward to the next one! 🎥👓😊
I would love to see a Toro, Kojima and Bong collaborate on a project. Now that Hideo is moving towards motion picture, it would be the coolest thing ever
Great to see Bong's picks. He has such varied and intense tastes! Looking so forward to his new film Parasite. Safe to say my fave film maker of the new millennium! :-)
"Walker" shout-out! Love the joy he quietly projects about being there. A master.
It's so cool to hear that one of your favorite directors actually likes on of the best obscure underground 80s films ever made ( Repo Man ) is truly amazing. Such depth to his taste
3:06 now that's something you don't expect to hear everyday.
That other korean cinema genius stole my dvd. Just great
And now my boy has entered the Criterion Collection with Memories of Murder and Parasite. So glad people abroad are finally really seeing his works.
Awesome picks from one of my favourite directors
Congratulations to Boog to winning Palm D'or.
It was kind of cool how he switched from Koreon to English I was kind of surprised at first 😂
I watched yesterday Memoirs from a murder. And now i found this... Thank you Criterion. These videos are amazing recomendations : )
3:04 - Hilarious lol
Picnic at hanging rock!! yess, one of the greatest films ever.
I was so scared he was going to drop all those films near the end. Why didn't he have a tote bag like some of the others? Still, great director. Would love Criterion to get Memories of Murder.
and now, after his history making oscar sweep, mr. bong joon ho is getting his own masterpieces in the collection. thank you for your fantastic films mr. bong, and thank you criterion for recognizing this true cinematic master
Obviously before watching this video, I predict his picks would be:
5/ Biodome with Pauly Shore
4/ Son of the Mask with Jamie Kennedy
3/ Left Behind with Nicolas Cage
2/ Showgirls with Gina Gershon
1/ The Room with Tommy Wiseau
I didn’t even finish watching the video and I’ve agreed with him on 100 percent of his choices. Throne Of Blood definitely the best of Kurosawa’s Shakespearean adaptations.
The way he talks is so calm like a scientist.
I love this artist filmaker. He should have gotten the Oscar a long time ago for THE HOST - Toronto, Ontario.
Take as much as you can hold: is that the rule?
I would go in there with my *bag!!!* =]
***** So did Guy Maddin =]
***** Cuaron had no mercy.
Derek Power Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Maddin is so far the only visitor to take his own film amongst his picks. Pretty badass imo.
Step to the closet with my Hammer pants on / Get more discs than Alfonso Cuarón
Bong seems like such a swell guy. I just wish I could speak Korean so I could have a conversation with him lol
would this mean that any of joon-ho's films will come to criterion. i hope that happens along with the films of chan-wook park and maybe an eclipse set on the gems of korean cinema.
Many people have picked Picnic at Hanging Rock. A true masterpiece, and the book is fantastic too.
i saw that movie when i was a kid like 10 times. i never noticed John Jarratt in it! Mick Taylor from Wolf Creek was at the rock. Mystery solved!😝
걍 다 갖고 싶은것 같아요^^ 감독님..너무 해피.
Some people make films to win awards. This man makes films to visit the criterion vault. Goals.
Parasite made the noise to look after this genius.But,in my heart,Memories of murder will always be the best.
Agree!
There's something adorable and endearing about his genuine glee for films. 😄
I think this is the first of these video's I've seen where they actually check for special features.
Why are there movies appearing in Bong Joon Ho's stack with no explanation?
The FIRST DVD he is shown holding got skipped! It appears to be Von Trier's "Breaking the Waves".
Breaking the Waves - Lars Von Trier (first dvd in Bong Joon Ho's hands, check out 2:26)
Harold and Maude - Hal Ashby (check out 2:25 / 2:33)
Rosemary's Baby - Roman Polanski (this was tough to discern, but look at 2:42)
Though the real question is, why doesn't anybody else (in the comments) seem to notice?
i hope someday i may be in his spot and be able to pick up a copy of parasite
I was surprised and pleased to see him comment on Picnic at Hanging Rock.
3:00 That made me blush, because you know Pan’s Labyrinth is my all-time favorite movie.
He looks smart . Who knows he may make good movies in future.
dipesh sharma nah he already made a bunch of excellent movie
He already made good movies before.
He's already made so many good movies, bud. Most notably Parasite and Memories of Murder.
r/wooosh
You’re joking, right?
Congrats on the Best Picture win for Parasite!
This is such a calming video, like I’m watching a video from 2000 of my dad or something 😂
They need to release the uncut versions of these videos.
And now he has 4 oscars
I think we can conclude one thing from looking at this comment section: people want their memories of murder criterion.
Also, may I add that I am apart of this group
@@shoppingtrollyrebel2985 You're apart from it, or a part of it?
He seems like such a cool and cultured dude! ❤️ he’s a master of his craft as well
Love these videos, keep doing more!
