Top 10 Chinese Movies

I wrote this list originally for China-Briefing.com, a Chinese business news site. This is my personal list of favourites, which I think help give insight into the country and it's culture.

  1. The Last Emperor (1987)
  2. Raise the Red Lantern (1991)
  3. The White Countess (2005)
  4. Farewell My Concubine (1993)
  5. Empire of the Sun (1987)
  6.  The World of Suzie Wong (1960)
  7. Enter the Dragon (1973)
  8. Big Shot's Funeral (2001)
  9. The Joy Luck Club (1993)
  10. A Chinese Ghost Story (1987)
These films should all be available with English dialogues or subtitles.
