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.

You've only seen Crouching Tiger and that one Bruce Lee movie so that's quite bold statement to make about whole cinema culture you don't seem to understand. That's bit like saying "The fact that there's only two Schwarzenegger movies on AFI list is laughable."
