Haven't quite found the time yet to get serious about it but I've been trying to watch more Cantonese-language films in the hope it might improve my Cantonese.
 

 

Keep in mind my favorite thing about Hong Kong movies is that they particularly excel at action so yeah, my favorites are mostly action movies (especially martial arts) although there are outliers. 

 

My first recommendation would be to start with movies directed by Jackie Chan himself. He weaved Western style of filmmaking a bit more into his films (especially Buster Keaton) than most other HK filmmakers so it's more approachable. Police Story would be a great starter IMO. Then you work from there.

 

Here's my list:

 

1. Pan's Labyrinth (2006) - Spain

2. Thirst (2009) - South Korea

3. Peking Opera Blues (1986) - Hong Kong

Just updating you all that all but about 8-10 lists are tallied now so that means tallying should be completed in the next two days. Therefore expect the countdown to begin Thursday/Friday.

 

as always, last gasp lists will get accepted until the countdown begins, however, current lists can no longer be edited. (I will accept tagging films onto the end of a list though as that is easy to deal with)

Keep in mind my favorite thing about Hong Kong movies is that they particularly excel at action so yeah, my favorites are mostly action movies (especially martial arts) although there are outliers. 

 

My first recommendation would be to start with movies directed by Jackie Chan himself. He weaved Western style of filmmaking a bit more into his films (especially Buster Keaton) than most other HK filmmakers so it's more approachable. Police Story would be a great starter IMO. Then you work from there.

 

Here's my list:

 

94. Castaway on the Moon (2009) - South Korea

 

 

That film right there, needs to be watched by more people. It's so good and would be a genuinely good concept to remake too. Like with a Jack Black or Jim Carrey maybe

It would indeed be hilarious a remake with the likes of Jack Black. The premise sounds so ridiculous but when you watch the movie it actually works, somehow. Really liked how idiosyncratic the girl was.

 

I haven't watched nearly as many Korean films as I'd like to have, but so far I'm really digging it. To think it all started for me with curiosity because Korean action movies were lauded as similar to HK, so I watched The Man From Nowhere, and then I worked from there. Nowadays I'm enjoying their romance/drama output more than action tbh. There is a sincerity and sensibility to Korean movies that is really really hard to find elsewhere.

 

Definitely gonna watch a lot more. Before my foreign movies were 90+% Hong Kong, 10% the rest. Nowadays I'm looking to make it more like 40% HK 40% Korea 20% rest of world.

...even starting to get into kdramas :hahaha: Talk about getting sucked in!
