Asian Cinema: 2 Chinese Films to Add to Your Watch List

I enjoy watching non-American or foreign films and TV shows. The movies must have English subtitles of course. Watching foreign films is both entertaining and educational. Before we had the Internet, my husband used to scour the foreign films section in the video rental store and rent movies for us to watch.
