Either this is a flawed list or I have very bad taste in movie. Nevertheless, you should continue making these types of list. For example: 1. Top 10 funniest 2. Highest budget film 3. Lowest budget film 4. Highest tickets sold and etc... I know it's a lot of work but it's definitely going to attract of traffic. Man, I can’t believe Breaking News didn’t make the list.

Thank you for this Kozo since even though I saw it on the last day, I enjoyed participating and reading your posts (the one with the fake top three got me laughing out loud more than once) I'm happy with the top three films of the decade, they are faves and stand well to rewatches and diverse enough to appeal any new beginner. And as a fan of Tony Leung CW, I'm really glad that he is starring in the top two:) Well The Way We Are was in my list - but I voted for ITMFL as the best film.

Ashamed to say I missed the voting but the list is great. After tallying my totals I was amazed to discover that I’d seen 41 of the 52 films on the list and all but four were in seen in actual U.S. movie theaters. On top of that I could’ve seen, but actually passed on, four more films featured on the list. I guarantee the next decade won’t be as fruitful for those of us that like our Hong Kong movies bigger, louder, and rowdier than we can get them in our own homes. Biggest disappointment was that DUMPLINGS didn’t crack the list – it was in the top 10 of my top 60 HK films of the decade. Biggest surprise was seeing PERHAPS LOVE on the list. Of course my favorite part may be the top three fake outs – LOL! I was in that packed premiere audience for THE WESLEY’S MYSTERIOUS FILE at The Four Star and you could hear a pin drop as we all sauntered out being careful not to look one another in the eye – haha. In hindsight I can’t believe I expected the movie to be much better than it was! Thanks for the laughs Kozo. Too, too fun! Ashamed to say I missed the voting but the list is great.

As for publicizing it, I don't know if he plans to, but he can on The Golden Rock if he wishes. @V, I came up with my Top 10 (or maybe 15) list during the voting process, but since I was very aware of how much I could affect the vote (e.g. IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE and SHAOLIN SOCCER were never separated by more than 1-2 votes at a time), my choices were not factored in. I'll probably publish them later, but after a post mortem on this vote, and maybe a few other random posts. I'd like to do another poll like this soon. This one seemed to work out very well, and I personally enjoyed it a lot. I might throw that discussion out there in a couple of days.
