Erotic should be fake the penetration when porn is really doing it.

#5 Post at 13-1-2010 07:55  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L well, to keep on topic, 2 great must-see mongering HK films are Naked Ambition and Men Suddenly In Black.  Also, One Night In Mongkok is an excellent movie on the MK brothel and 141 scene and shows Cecilia Cheung at her absolute best.

#6 Post at 13-1-2010 09:21  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #5 JeSun's post Is that the one where Athena Chu is a washed up WG and caught some disease?  She still looks hot. If you are into semi arsty films, In the Mood for Love is quite good.  RedCliff 1 and 2 are must sees, explosive shit but I would suggest you do a bit a research before watching because it can get quite confusing if you don't have an idea what is actually going on during the time.  The Guan Yee Gor in that movie was incredible, was that dude a China actor?  He had the face, movements and attitude down pat.

I recall, you give Netflix a list of movies you want to watch and they will send them. I believe Netflix carries only very few Chinese films. I'm talking about movies in Chinese with and without English/French sub titles. I am assuming you what to learn some Chinese at the same time with the sub titles. Yes, Red Cliff 1/2 s good. I also like the movie called "The Killer". There are also some good Triad movies. I don't think these movies are in Netflix. Some movies that should be on Netflix are by Jackie Chan, ( sorry I'm not a JC fan ).  Some of Jet Li films should be on Netflix too. [ Last edited by  Weelock at 13-1-2010 10:42 ]

#10 Post at 13-1-2010 11:23  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Like bro mrp suggested, Infernal Affairs (well, the entire trilogy) is pretty good.  Not really obscure though since Scorsasi remade it into a Hollywood film.  If you want Mandarin films, I suggest looking up the filmography of Chinese stars.  Some don't get a lot of exposure outside of Asia, but their work is quite good.  Vicki Zhao Wei, for example, is a pretty good Chinese actress and has done a number of really good movies.  Many of Gong Li's films, before she got famous internationally, are pretty big classics in Asia too.  The only danger is that you may need to be familiar w/ Chinese literature or history in some cases such as a film called Green Tea, starring Vicki Zhao Wei.  My understanding is that it's an adaptation of a short story/book.

Good list of Chinese movies. I don't think most of the movies are on Netflix.  Netflix has very few foreign films. Again, I believe he wants to give Netflix a list of movies for them to send to him to watch. [ Last edited by  Weelock at 13-1-2010 12:46 ]

No one said he has to pick those ones to watch.  He can obviously also look at reviews of the movies before he watches.

#16 Post at 13-1-2010 14:14  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #11 Weelock's post That's true.  I personally don't know what Netflix carries.  I dl movies usually if it's not something that should be seen in theatres to fully appreciate (most recent example prob being Avatar).

#19 Post at 13-1-2010 16:21  Profile P.M.  Font size: S M L Reply #18 JeSun's post What on earth made you think I'm Asian? That a film isn't commercially successful says nothing about it's quality. The same is true of literature. Hollywood makes crap because it sells, not because they don't know any better. Dumbing-down, reducing everything to the lowest common denominator so as to maximize ticket sales, is what the mass-market entertainment business is all about. How else can you explain all the garbage on TV and in the theater - the common man has shit for brains. Quality in a film has always been a commercial liability. 孔子曰： 君子不羞于舔屄也
