I've never really viewed Oldboy as horror. I label it as my favorite movie of all time, but I've always viewed it as an intense thriller with disturbing visuals and a little bit of drama for good measure. The film is more about Dae Su-oh discovering who imprisoned him for 15 years along with how they're connected to him and why they did it. The torture scenes are horrific at times, but kind of secondary to a man looking for his captor. I've had similar discussions with Ichi the Killer, as well. Another film I don't really view as horror.

I totally agree with you, Creamy. Jaws is another example of a thriller mislabeled as horror.
