Why the heck is "Da hong deng long gao gao gua" not on this list? It’s an awesome movie, both plot- and cinematography-wise.

Shen Nu a.k.a. The Goddess is one of the films I want to see the most, too bad I can't find it anywhere.

Wo de fu qin mu qin (The Road Home, 1999) is a beautiful movie that ain't mentioned here.

That's a bit sad.
