If you like so-bad-it's-good movies: Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky is a must see.

i think it's legit great. also, might be worth noting it's a hong kong movie from when they were a british protectorate (i think), so it's somewhat removed from the chinese film industry.

regardless, people should see it

Not seen many, but Chungking Express is pretty cool, unless you have a strange aversion to the Mamas and Papas.
