If you’re into foreign films, then you’ve probably stumbled upon a plethora of Chinese movies that are essential for calling yourself a movie buff. But if you’re not into foreign films then you’ve probably never have heard of any of the movies that are on this list. When you saw ‘Chinese Movies’ in the title, you likely probably thought, Jackie Chan, Kung Fu, and subtitles. As stereotypical as it is, most of the movies on this list are memorable for those things. But instead of ignorantly typecasting these movies as “foreign blubbering, sword chucking, Jackie Chan flicks”, think of these movies as films with their own heart, story, and characters. You’ll be pleasantly surprised and will even consider some of these flicks better than some of the crap Hollywood produces today.
