If the opportunity arises tonight, I'm going to attempt to dump a 300lb bouncer on his head... fail, and get my ass kicked. Despite its numerous, irritating flaws, I also love Throwdown too.

Maybe it's been too long since I watched it? I'll certainly give the DVD a spin again but I couldn't list it because of that fact. "SPL" was my number one (it may not be highbrow viewing like a WKW film but no other HK film this decade has enthralled me so much). I'm glad to see my number two choice "Exodus" hasn't yet appeared on the list. I'm hoping its made it to a real high spot.

Watched some of his work and like it though. But for Chinese movie, maybe I'm too Wong Kar Wai - Ang Lee - Zhang Yimou - Chen Kaige - Tsui Hark - some Andrew Lau and Peter Chan minded. As shown on my list for this decade: two by Ang Lee, three by WKW, one by Andrew Lau, one by Stephen Chow, one Tsui Hark's, one Pang Brothers', one by Zhang Yimou. I have watched Fultime Killer, Love on a Diet, A moment of Romance (maybe the three of them or only two...I don't remember) & Wu yen. I liked them but my failure not really recognized the filmmaker. Now I assume that he is the ultimate Hongkong commercial filmmaker as he can make variable genre from comedy, ation, phsychological, romance, etc which are not only have commercial success and fun to watch, but also meaningful and memorable.Unlike Wong Kar Wai or Zhang Yimou who mostly make typical movies. I think I'm gonna put him on my list of "must collect and/ or watch the film" director. Wow too bad for me I didn’t recognize Johnnie To before. Watched some of his work and like it though.

The truth is we did have a small run of ballots from a bunch of Charlene Choi fans, as evidenced by their lists containing 9/10 or 10/10 films starring her. Those votes pushed MY WIFE IS 18 to a higher rank, though truth be known, 11 people voted for MY WIFE IS 18, meaning over half not Charlene Choi fans. It could still have ended up being in the #45 or higher area. SUMMER HOLIDAY is arguably better than MY WIFE IS 18, though they're both pretty much the same: popstar vehicles that are pleasing, light and thankfully not insulting. It could simply be that Sammi Cheng's fanbase has left her behind. In the early Aughts, she could do no wrong, but lately she's been quiet and her fans the same. Charlene Choi's fans are still here for her. Anyway, in the end this list is just for fun. And I just gave away that SUMMER HOLIDAY is not in the Top 10. But as AlHaru says, it's not much of a surprise from here on out. The only real suspense might be what their final order (and point total) is. @Richard,
