Happy Together (1997): tony leung and leslie cheung give the greatest performances of their impressive careers
Chungking Express (1995): crazy beautiful losers
New World, The (2006): wonderful to look at, but just like gere in days of heaven, farrell just looks around confused as to what he's doing
Days of Heaven (1979): Even more beautiful than badlands, but suffers from a gaping hole where richard gere's performance is supposed to be. Fortunately Linda Manz manages to carry it.
Badlands (1973): not particularly ambitious, but i think the most perfectly constructed film, and unnervingly funny
Dancer in the Dark (2000): simply the most emotionally devastating and manipulative thing on celluloid.
