Farewell My Concubine: This is definitely one of the best movies I have seen. It's a sweeping account of two friends' lives from childhood to adulthood against the volatile political background of China.
The Blue Kite: Zhuangzhuang Tian was banned for making this movie. It totally destroys the idea of communism and exposes how much people had to suffer because of so called Cultural Revolution.
To Live: This is my favorite movie from one of my favorite directors - Zhang Yimou. Like The Blue Kite, it also narrates the story of a family who had to suffer because of Cultural Revolution. It's also got amazing background music.
Not one less: Zhang Yimou again. A simple and moving movie which has lots of realistic elements.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Perhaps the most well known movie to come out of China.
Oldboy: Watch it for the intensity and the fierce atmosphere it creates. Brilliant direction, back-ground music, cinematography and action scenes.
Confessions:
Another psychological thriller that was supposed inspired from Oldboy. Not as grappling as Oldboy but yet worth a watch.
The Road Home A really simple, touching and nostalgic movie with breath-taking cinematography.
Raise the Red Laltern: Considered as one of the best films ever made, I had my expectations too high while I was watching this movie. It has the trademark stunning cinematography of Zhang Yimou, and can be interpreted as highly symbolic in nature. It's one of those movies that grow on you gradually.
Spring Summer Fall Winter and Spring:
I don't have much idea what makes this film so critically acclaimed.
Chungking Express: Brilliant movie! I became a fan of Wong-kar Wai after watching this movie. It's a movie that will haunt you for days after you have watched it.
Laskar Pelangi: Another example of simplicity and sentiment combined to create a beautiful movie.
In the Mood for Love: A critically acclaimed movie which I failed to appreciate.
The Scent of Green Papaya: Yet another critically acclaimed movie which I failed to appreciate.
Himalaya: One of those lesser known gems everyone should know. If you want to see how the life of people living in the one of the remotest areas in the lap of Himalayas is, watch this movie. The scenery is undoubtedly jaw-dropping.
