Hey everyone. I'm currently in San Francisco recharging my sanity meter.

This is one of two pre-recorded episodes I made for you. It's less analytical than our usual episodes, but I'm still proud of it. A bit of a different direction, I hope you'll enjoy.

And if you want more analytical stuff, don't worry. Watch to the end of the episode and you'll know what I mean.

50 Chinese Movies You Should Watch Before You Die | Video Essay

Accented Cinema - Episode 20 Watching only the most famous Chinese films to learn about Chinese culture, is like only ordering the most famous dishes from Chinatown. A lot of nuances are missing if you don't look for the local stuff. So in this episode, I'm going to recommend 50 Chinese films for you, some famous, some not, all of which have a huge effect on Mainland China, Hong Kong and/or Taiwan. They aren't necessary the best films. But they defined the shared memories of my generation. Also, am I the only one who grew up watching Ten Brothers? ------------------------------------------ Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AccentedCinema Follow us on Social Media! https://www.facebook.com/AccentedCinema/ https://twitter.com/AccentedCinema

Hey look! It's a list video! But seriously though, I really do appreciate the effort to compile something like this : )

Man, this was a hard video to watch. Ashes of Time and In the Mood for Love, but no Happy Together or Days of Being Wild? 😳 What about Angry Ranger? Escape From Brothel? I could develop a whole hour-long pitch on the genius of Her Vengeance alone!

Haha, I'm tagging onto the Internet fad like an old man. Next year I'll be talking about area 51.

I could definitely dominate the list with Wong Kar-wai's work. But this video isn't meant to be a top 50, but rather just 50 movies that's worth a watch. So a good variety is just as important.

DOMINATE the list? 😏 Now you're just being ridiculous.

Wong Kar-wai? Then you gotta talk about Chungking Express! Bring Tarantino in it as well ;)
