Good asian american movies?

does anybody know any good asian american movies (ie joy luck club)???Good asian american movies?I like Marlin Brando in Sayanaro sp? he was a pilot in the Korean war and his dad was a general and he was engaged to another generals daughter and he went to R and R in Tokyo...but he met a geisha girl...and at that time you could not marry the japanese..well..he dumped his American sweetheart and shacked up with the Japanese geisha..enuf said..it was a classic and it came out in the 50's..it had Red Buttons in it too ..Good asian american movies?
%26lt;i%26gt;The Debut%26lt;/i%26gt; is a good little independent film. It stars Dante Basco (aka Rufio from %26lt;i%26gt;Hook%26lt;/i%26gt;) as a Filipino-American teen in LA, who needs to choose between going to a party with his white friends or to his sister's Debut (18th birthday). Along the way he has to deal with a rivalry with another more Afro-centric Pinoy teen, for the affections of his sister's pretty friend.



It's a good sketch of the diaspora of Filipino culture in America.Good asian american movies?Tae Guk Gi-The Brotherhood of War! it is a totally awesome film about the N. and S. korean war and about two brothers and they get drafted into war with the South and the older is a good fighter and he protects the younger but then his younger brother is mistaken for one of the Norths and get captured and his older brother trys to get him back,i relly recomend this film.Good asian american movies?
a more moderm one is Better Luck Tomorrow...it's based on a true story on a school near me. It's about the lives of these 4.0 Asian American students but they get involved in drugs, dealing drugs, stealing, but still manage to keep their criminal lives a secrecy because of their grades. Great film!!Good asian american movies?I don't know if this qualifies as American, but it certainly is Asian..."Nobody Knows." Possibly the most heart-wrenching movie I've seen in years. It's a Japanese film about a woman who leaves her four/five young children alone in their small apartment to fend for themselves. Again, not exactly American, but worth a rent.Good asian american movies?
Snow Falling on Cedars?
