There are some great movies put out from there. Here are a few of my own favourites....

Japan: anything by Akira Kurosawa, also Tampopo (not for younger viewers), The Silk Road is awesome too.

China: Shadow Magic, The Emperor and the Assasin, Shanghai Triad, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Korea: Shiri

I know I've seen more, but these are the ones that stick out as really great films.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

(The End of Education)

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge

Kurosawa and the old Jet Li stuff for me, mainly martial arts movies.

The Seven samurai by Akira Kurosawa was my faovrite Japanese Live Movie.

As for Chinese, I recommend One Upon A TIme In China, any of the three or 4 that there are, or Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Shaolin Soccer receives my highest praise. One of my favorite movies ever!
