Attack the Gas Station (and Kick the Moon) - Two films here. Both from Sang Jin Kim, and both amazing. I group them because they kind of take on the same ideas. And Attack the Gas Station was released in 1999, so it's pushing the requirement. Anyways, it's the tale of youthful indiscretion and anger in young men, once again the youth culture of Korea monogatari series chronological order out of control and striking out. Four young men in need of money attempt to rob a gas station for the fifth time and run into a few troubles. They get stuck in a hostage situation and hilarity ensues. The key to Korean comedy is that it's never fully about the comedy. They don't forget the reality of the characters' situations or what will happen to them after things are over. It's very dry in that regard, but at the same time that much easier to feel a part of. One of the defining films of the generation, and its follow up Kick the Moon, which is about returning to youth after this period and confronting for the second time those youthful urges, is a better film if not quite as funny.
