trying to think of movies that is align with the thread title.
to recall back, there are several worthy hk films to be watched in cinemas. thinking back, it's also easy to say the classics are absolute classics.
let's take a trip down memory lanes:
some of the aces go places movies
almost all stephen chow movies
the hey days of jackie chan movies
storm rider 1
cold war 1 and 2 (would have hoped that part 3 would come)
C'est la vie, mon chéri
lost in time
spl and paradox
the white storm 1
the counterfeiter
the eye
ip man series
some of the jet li movies
front page
detective dee
a battle of wits
running out of time
red cliff 1 & 2
this is not what i expected
i also think a guilty conscience is a good movie but may not be suited for cinema.
The Matrix would not exist in 1999 if not 4 the inspiration of gun ballet in HK or in USA terms guns-fu
