According to my personal taste, current feature Thai films that I like a lot include
1.THE HOUSE (2007, Monthon Arayangkoon)
This looks like just a cliché horror film, but I think there are some interesting aspects in this film, such as the psychological complex of some characters, the question why some women are happy to see the torture of other women (or why some persons are happy to see the torture of other persons), the questions about family values, about the power of love or the futility of love, and about the use of medium, etc. This film might not be as scary as other horror films, but it really succeeds in leaving some shadows in my minds. I don’t know why I feel as if my heart was darker after seeing this film.
2.ASUJAAK (2007, Taweewat Wantha)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0969694/
This is a hilarious cult film.
3.ONE TRUE THING (2007, Vichart Somkaew)
This is a documentary about the director who was coming out of the closet. He told his close friends and his mother that he was gay, and recorded their reactions.
4.THE SPECTRUM (2006, Yanin Pongsuwan)
This is a documentary about students who had to practice very hard in a marching band for the competition.
5.FINAL SCORE (2007, Soraya Nakasuwan)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0975668/
This is a documentary about the lives of some high-school students before they took the entrance exam for university.
6.THE TRUTH BE TOLD (2007, Pimpaka Towira)
This is a documentary about a female activist.
7.KHON FAI BIN (2006, Chalerm Wongpim)
This is an entertaining action film.
