Chinese Movies
thegreatbuddha:
Not a serious movie at all, but Shaolin Soccer is completely awesome in all possible ways*
*Even the ways you haven't thought of yet.

I realize this is a Korean movie, but if any of you have not seen Oldboy, then watch it now.

Not Chinese. And it's been brought up in the Recommendations thread a few times. But I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. I'm gonna buy the trilogy on Amazon pretty soon.

Seconded. It depends on what you're willing to allow as "Chinese." I will not, of course mention anything Japanese (Akira Kurosawa) or Korean (Chan-wook Park) but if you're into crime films and gangster pictures, Hong Kong is the place to be. Johnny To's recent movies Exiled and Triad Election are both excellent examples of Hong Kong crime dramas.
On a totally different note, 2046 is awesome, and you should see most movies directed by Kar-wai Wong, esp. Chungking Express and Days of Being Wild.
Also, I agree Gong Li is great, but avoid Zhou Yu's Train. Man, that was crappy.

2046 is indeed great. Most of my recommendations have already been suggested but If you're into the crime drama thing Infernal Affairs is pretty good. If anyone wasn't aware it's the movie that was remade into 'The Departed'.
