Golden Horse Film Festival's "100 Greatest Chinese-language Films"

Add to my lists | Print this list

"… the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival Executive Committee decided to invite the Chinese-language cinema experts and outstanding film-makers to vote for the ‘100 Greatest Chinese-language Films’ of all time.

People who were invited to cast their votes are based mainly in Taiwan but film-makers from Hong Kong and China and Chinese-language cinema experts worldwide are also included on the list. What is unique about the our list is that unlike some similar selections in which the participants are mostly film scholars, critics or festival programmers and probably a few film directors, we invited not only professionals mentioned above but scriptwriters, producers, actors, crew members and people working in art and literature. More significantly, both the established figures and young film-makers have cast their votes in this poll. Every single Chinese-language film completed before August 2010 is qualified and each voter gave their choices of up to 30 films (not in any order) to the Golden Horse Committee for the final counts.

Pablum like Infernal Affairs is 18, but the masterpiece Raise the Red Lantern is 55?
