Lists of Bests: East Asian Cinema - China, Hong Kong and Taiwan http://www.listsofbests.com/list/19226 This list represents some of the better films (in my opinion) to come out of China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. As a student of Film hoping to specialize in the cinemas of East Asia, and being half-Chinese, I've tried to expose myself to as many movies from Asia as possible, and there's a lot to be said about the movies they make over there in the East. The list is ordered based on geography (China > HK > Taiwan). China: 1. "Beijing Bicycle", Wang Xiao-Shuai 2. "Devils on the Dorstep", Jiang Wen 3. "The Emperor and the Assassin", Chen Kaige 4. "Farewell My Concubine", Chen Kaige 5. "Hero", Zhang Yimou 6. "The King of Masks", Wu Tian-Ming 7. "The Promise", Chen Kaige 8. "Raise the Red Lantern", Zhang Yimou Hong Kong: 9. "2046", Wong Kar-Wai 10. "Fearless", Ronny Yu 11. "God of Cookery", Stephen Chow 12. "In the Mood for Love", Wong Kar-Wai 13. "Infernal Affairs", Andrew Lau 14. "New Police Story", Benny Chan 15. "Once Upon A Time in China" trilogy, Tsui Hark 16. "Police Story", Jackie Chan 17. "Shaolin Soccer", Stephen Chow 18. "S.P.L. (Sha Po Lang)", Wilson Yip 19. Wong Kar-Wai collection ("As Tears Go By", "Days of Being Wild", "Chungking Express", "Fallen Angels", "Happy Together"), Wong Kar-Wai Taiwan: 20. "A City of Sadness", Hou Hsiao-Hsien 21. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Ang Lee 22. "Eat Drink Man Woman", Ang Lee 23. "Goodbye, Dragon Inn", Tsai Ming-Liang 24. "Yi Yi", Edward Yang *Please feel free to make some additions.
