Chinese/Hk Films: Your Recommendations?

Hi,
I looked through 15 pages and can't seem to find anything like this topic. I don't really have much knowledge about Chinese/Hong Kong cinema, beside the Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Stephen Chow stuff. So what films do you reccomend, I'm open to anything. Thanks. salut

For Hong Kong films, Rob-B-Hood staring Jackie Chan and Louis Koo
I loved that movie <3

I never was an action fan but I really liked Dog Bite Dog too, staring Edison Chen and Sam Lee.
I thought the movie was really meaningful.

I still have yet to watch A Melody Looking staring those Amusic people.

Men Suddenly In Black

It's unique and funny.

-Edit-
Oh, I forgot to mention the Infernal Affairs trilogy and Running out of Time. These are really great movies.

IMO, most of the recent high-profile films are CRAP. That includes The Banquet and Curse of the Golden Flower. Even though I'm a huge fan of Initial D manga/anime, the live-action movie sucks. I'm glad no one mentioned it. Roll Eyes

I really enjoyed watching Stephen Fung's "Enter the Phoenix" movie. I think he directs better than his acting or singing for that fact. Now I just gotta see some of his magic tricks. Laugh

Anyway, it's a fun comedy and stars Daniel Wu! Tongue

Some of the movies I have seen (both China and Hong Kong) are:

-Together
(He Ni Zai Yi Qi - ?????) : one of the best movies I've ever seen. Its musically based - about a young boy who plays the violin.
-Infernal Affairs I, II and III (???)
-Love on a Diet (I thought it was funny, but I'm not a fan of Andy Lau)
-House of Flying Daggers

I really recommend the first and second ones on the list.

If you like Triad/Cops genre anything directed by Johnnie To and you can't wrong. Look him up on IMDB.
