Our Times (Taiwan)
Via Amino AppsTaiYu gives Lin Truly the push she needs.
"Our times" follows office worker, Lin Truly, back to teenage years where she obsessively fawns over music idols, maneuvers through high school awkwardness and teams up with an unlikely classmate to help each other get what they want. Yes, this is a borderline a classic sappy movie about coming of age, but it is so good you would think you're the one living in the film.

"The beauty inside" follows a young man who falls in love with a furniture seller, but there's a catch. The young man's gender, language, height, race and overall appearance changes every time he wakes. Obviously, this is an odd premiss to create a film around, but it makes it all the more interesting.

After a young student discovers her teacher's body in her classroom from an apparent suicide there instructor is soon replaced with an immigrant teacher named Monsieur Lazhar.

Frustrating to say the least, in 1980's rural Korea a small town is the target of the countries first recorded serial killer. Young women being at risk give a few clues as who may be assaulting and killing them, but is it enough for detective Park and detective Cho with lack of skill and technology?

A childhood favorite of mine, Ponyo follows an adventurous goldfish princess who wants to become human. She meets a young boy, Sosuke, who befriends her, but much to Ponyo's fathers surprise such interaction is forbidden. Studio Ghibli always makes classics must I say more?
