Oh, Records of Lodoss War! That story is really nice, the plot, the characters' development, the music...

A few of the award winning movies which I like:

1. The Ten Commandments (1956)
It was directed by Cecil B. DeMille and starred Charlton Heston in the lead role. Co-stars included Yul Brynner (the famous botak actor) as his adoptive brother.



Video



2. My Fair Lady (film, 1964)
The film was directed by George Cukor and stars Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison.
The film won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Director.


Video Clip


1 of the songs I like in this movie(musical): On the Street Where You Live



3. The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather II (1974)

4. The Guns of Navarone (film)

5. The Longest Day (film)

6. Scent of a Woman

7. The Towering Inferno

Talking about Japanese films, several came to my mind, although some see them as animations like Disney's. I particularly like anime films by Studio Ghibli. Most of these are not award winning films, but I consider them as having deeper contents and messages within them.

1. Spirited Away, 2001 film (winner, Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, 2002)
2. Grave of the Fireflies
3. Ocean Waves
4. Only Yesterday
5. Princess Mononoke
6. Spirited Away

1 of the films not in anime style which I like is "The Professor's Beloved Equation"


As for Korean films, I don't know any that has won any awards yet, but there are many blockbusters and highly sought after by foreign film festivals. Refer to here

A couple of Korean films which I had watched and felt good are:

1. Musa
2. Il Mare
3. My Sassy Girl

There are many others recommended in the above website and I'll post my comments after watching them.
