Anyone a Wong Kar-Wai fan? My favorites are Chungking
Express and Fallen Angels.

yeah chungking express is a brilliant movie......i liked
fallen angels,although i didnt think it completely
worked(still worth watching though).
In the mood for love i think is a little over-rated(don`t
get me wrong it is a brilliant movie),although it does look
fantastic.Still havn`t watched happy together yet,is it
anygood?

Happy Together is my least favorite film of his that I
have seen, but I've only watched it once. Probably his most
complex. Worth seeing.

Have you seen Ashes of Time? That one is just plain
strange. I like it.

Happy Together has one of the greatest shots of all time in
it. When Leslie Cheung and his boyfriend pull away from the
bar and you can see Tony Leung through the rear window. Very
nice. Visualy it's his best... Great soundtrack too. But
Chung King Express just has this warm excitement, one of my
all time fav.

My favorite shot is in Fallen Angels. The mute guy is
sitting beside the girl and smelling her hair. That says it
all for me.

In the Mood for Love is the most beautiful movie I have ever
seen, I can't wait to see 2046.

its a characters name from a series of books called His Dark
Materials by Philip Pullman. They will probably be made into
movies by New Line (LotR).

bumping this because more people need to see his amazing
films.

I finally got round to seeing Chungking Express, easily one
of the best films i've ever seen. It should get a special
edition dvd release.

I watched Happy Together recently, its not the easiest of
his films to get into... i'm going to have to watch it again
sometime.

shouldn't be too long until 2046 is released, can't wait!

Its a shame more of his films aren't released in the UK, i'd
love to see a good dvd quality version of Ashes of Time,
also I really want to see 'days of being wild'

he's probably my favourite author at the moment, I agree
he's the author equivelant of a WKW movie.

that's by far my favorite, tho i've only seen a few yet. it
makes me feel things differently than anything else

chung king express was really wonderful, and it does give
you this great/weird feeling when you see it.... but fallen
angels impacted me more in that way, and actually i enjoyed
it a bit more. but really, it's splitting hairs, i think.
both excellent films.
