My question is the same as Tom's.
I'll try to make a list if its all Asian films, but i hate making top ten lists since i always seem to forget about films that should be in it. :?

Here's a temporary HK-Taiwan-China list (it will be changed if the top 10 turns out to be an "Asian top 10"):

10. Snake in the Eagle's Shadow
9. Crazy 'n The City
8. Ashes of Time
7. A Chinese Odyssey
6. Twins Effect 2
5. Hidden Heroes
4. Fly me to Polaris
3. Green Snake
2. Legend of Zu
1. Wu Ji - The Promise

Weird Top 10, indeed. :D

Not that it makes a difference to me. There's no way I can come up with a Top 10, I'd have to exclude too many Yang, Yimou and Hsien films. It's unpossible.

Grim and Slasher: Trilogies are THREE films. No cheating.

Other lists are just dandy. I'm actually still working on mine. I take this shit seriously!! :D

Yes, Mainland films are acceptable. It's ALL CHINESE films. My original post was mistaken.

Impossible and why not just pick your very favourite of each of those filmmakers? It's only a bit of fun. Don't sweat it, lol
