Need a Movie Rec? Here Are All the Best Korean Films You Can Stream Rn

This year, Parasite made history as the first non-English language film to take the top prize of "Best Picture" at the Academy Awards. The film's win proves that world-class talent doesn't just come from the West, and that international films deserve recognition at the Oscars beyond the "foreign" category. It also shows the rest of the world that there's so much more to Korean entertainment than the more familiar K-Pop music and K-Dramas.

And all of them are worthy of the little extra effort it takes to read some subtitles. Here are some of the best Korean movies you need to watch, if you haven't already.
