Chunking Express - one of my favorite films ever.

In the Mood for Love was equally good also. Am I right, FOT? For those who haven't seen these movies yet, you owe it yourself to do so.

Mine too.  Easily in the top 5.  And talk about a hot streak:  Everything from Days of Being Wild to ITMFL is practically bliss (I haven't seen Ashes of Time.  I don't think a decent-looking version has been released here). 

Not that excited about My Blueberry Nights, based on what I've heard - I actually thought it came and went already but it's only now getting a release - but I'll probably check it out in the theater.

Agreed on Chungking Express. I've seen it about a dozen times.

Ditto.  Sorry, Sploops.

Big fan of everything he's done except for Ashes of Time, which I just couldn't get into.  Especially loved Fallen Angels, for some reason, but think pretty highly of everything I've seen from WKW.
