Best Mandarin Movies on Netflix

For USA or Canadian members who have Netflix, any list of Mandarin movies you reco to watch. My strategy for being fluent in any language is to watch movies, listen to the radio, read, Rosetta Stone and practice with native speakers. For my Movie requirement, Netflix has a ton of movies in their "Foreign Language -> Mandarin" section. Before I dive in, any suggestions?

Even if you don't have Netflix, please list your favs. Thanks!

Let the Bullets Fly (starring Chow Yun Fat) was an extremely good action comedy - smart and witty and very violent. I think it was the highest-grossing Chinese movie ever : http://www.filmbiz.asia/news/bul ... rd-fires-up-on-line

Watch Painted Skin. It's a pretty decent movie with 2 very pretty ladies, Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei.

Have you seen "Ip Man"? I highly recommend it. Its a martial arts movie that takes place during WW2. Main character is Bruce Lee's master.

I'd recommend the somewhat recent "classics" that have made it to the USA.

1.  Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
2.  Hero
3.  House of Flying Daggers

Ya know what, I've realized I'm only listing Zhang Ziyi movies.  So might as well throw in "The Road Home."

Reply #8 freepeaks's post

i find comedy films about mahjong are really funny if you understand how to play mahjong, else you won't understand the real humor value of the scenes...
