LoveHKFilm.com 's top films of the 80's

One of my favorite Hong Kong film sites is having a reader's poll of the top films of the 1980's, which was the heyday of Hong Kong cinema. There were tons of great movies released and it was tough to put together a top 20. On any given day I would probably change the order of these films, but they are all great movies and highly recommended.
1. The Killer
2. God Of Gamblers
3. Dragons Forever
4. Eastern Condors
5. Chinese Ghost Story
6. Peking Opera Blues
7. Police Storyhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
8. Duel To The Death
9. Project A
10. A Better Tomorrow 3
11. A Better Tomorrow
12. Prodigal Son
13. Mr Vampire
14. Pedicab Driver
15. Iceman Cometh
16. Long Arm Of The Law 3
17. Long Arm Of The Law

Another short film by Park Chan Wook

Here is another short film by Park Chan Wook called "If You Were Me (NEPAL)". It is the true story of a Nepalese woman who was locked up in a Korean insane asylum because nobody could understand her. She was there for 6 years before they found someone who could speak Nepalese.

Odd shark movies

I thought that the trailer for Two Headed Shark would be the weirdest shark movie I discovered today. But Gyo PV is an anime about farting cyborg sharks attacking people on land. Originally seen on io9.com

Park Chan Wook's iphone film

In 2010 Park Chan Wook shot a 30 minute film using 8 iphones as the only cameras. He had a professional crew and so the film looks great. There are no subtitles but basically the movie breaks down to two stories. The first is about a fisherman who hooks a fish that turns out to be a woman. Then it switches to the fish/woman at a funeral for the fisherman.

36th Precint (France, 2004)

In the last decade France has been making some of the best crime films in the world. But they don't get much distribution in the US. Seven years after its French release we are finally able to see Olivier Marchal's 36th Precinct. It is a gritty, police procedural film staring Daniel Auteuil and Gerard Depardieu. One of the reasons for the delay in releasing the film was that it was scheduled for a US remake, to star George Clooney and Robert DeNiro but that never got off the ground. 36th Precinct is recommend for fans of Michael Mann's movies or Michael Connelly's novels. It is streaming on Netflix.

Radio Soulwax punk mix

Radio Soulwax is back with another great mash up compilation. This time of punk and hardcore. As with their recent mixes it is worth watching for the manipulation of the cover art.
