I'm kind of limited in that I'm really only aware of films that have been exported for American audiences, the Jackie Chan/Sammo Hung/Jet Li/Bruce Lee/Shaw Brothers/Crouching Tiger type stuff. I'm sure there's better that I just have not seen.

But my favorite is Kung Fu Hustle.

The goat. Hong kong triad/ Mafia movies are so good.

In the Mood for Love dir Wong Kar-wai. Some of the most beautiful cinematography ever.

Ashes of Time, notably Maggie Cheung's scene. The friend that recommended the film to me prefers the original version, but I like the redux version.

No way. XD

I rewatched it again recently, after it's finished, I was thinking: what the hell did I just watch. XD

The first God of gamblers definitely deserves mentioned.
