Since you liked Love is Not All Around, maybe you'll like "Marriage With a Fool" too since Alex and Stephy is in it =)

Well, this isn't the typical boy girl love story, but I really enjoyed "Rob-B-Hood" xD

Er, I wanna watch Hooked On You!

Hahaha there are alot of HK movies I love but I dunno wat type you would like tongue.gif plus I dunno if u watch it yet...

If you like comedy you should check out:
Rob-B-Hood- starring Jackie Chan and Louis Koo.
House of Fury- starring: Anthony Wong, Stephen Fung, Daniel Wu, Gillian Chung. [its action and comedy]
Love Undercover 1 &2- starring: Miriam Yeung & Daniel Wu
^^ I love these two parts the most haha. Really funny

But if you like action/thriller/suspense then you should watch:
Infernal Affairs [part 1,2,3]- starring: Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Anthony Wong, Eric Tsang, Sammi Cheng, Kelly Chen/ part 2: Edison Chen, Shawn Yue, Francis Yip, Carina Lau, Eric Tsang/part 3: Andy Lau, Kelly Chen, Leon Lai, Sammi Cheng; guest appearance: Tony Leung
^^ To me part 1 is the best and part 2 but part 3 is jus stupid and confusing
Confession of Pain- starring: Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Shu Qi

Most of them are pretty old but if you haven't seen it u should check it out happy.gif

All the movies people have listed so far are all really good :]!
I also suggest:

Rob-B-Hood (a really cute movie starring Jackie Chan and Louis Koo)
Twins Effect (a story about vamires starring Charlene Choi, Gillian Chung, Edison Chen & etc.)
New Police Story (a very good cop movie staring Jackie Chan, Nic Tse, Daniel Wu, Charlene Choi...)
Internal Affairs (This was the original story that US took & made it into "The Departed"....originals always rock)

A lot of Stephen Chow's old movies are especially hilarious & fun to watch<3....

I don't watch a lot of HK movies, but here are some recommendations.

(I'm bad at summaries. Sorry.)

Lost in Time starring Cecilia Cheung. It's a tearjerker, but really, really good. I think Cecilia won the Best Actress award for her role in this one. Plus, if you like cute little kids, there's one in here!

Love Undercover 1. This was already mentioned, but I'd like to second it! Part 2 was okay, it was mostly funny scenes and little less romantic than the first one. There is a part 3, but it's a different cast, I think. I haven't heard anything good about it, though.

My Sweetie starring Sammy & Stephy Tang. It's a light-hearted romantic comedy. Pretty cute. Haha, after watching this movie, I felt like washing someone's hair because it's mostly about shampoos. xD

Sound of Colors starring Tony Leung & Miriam Yeung. It's based on a book by Jimmy. It's about a blind girl who finds love. Very Christmas-sy. xD

Fighting for Love starring Tony Leung & Sammi Cheng. Haha, this is a movie that might make you like the third wheel in a relationship. xD There's also Niki Chow in this.

Elixir of Love starring Miriam Yeung & Richie Ren. Really, really cute! A smelly princess meets someone who might help her get rid of her odor.

Para Para Sakura starring Aaron Kwok & Cecilia Cheung. It's kind of cheesy at times, but cute nonetheless. Lots of dancing and some scenes are shot in Japan.

Everyday is Valentine starring Cecilia Cheung & Leon Lai. Deception and love. xD It's been a while since I saw this one. Sorry.

Second Time Around starring Cecilia Cheung & Ekin Cheng. There's sci-fi & love in this. I think most of it was filmed in Las Vegas...and it's sort of like the Lake House, but only the time stuff.

anything made by wong kar-wai before 2001... start with 'in the mood for love' and work your way back...
infernal affairs trilogy...
actually, anything with andy lau... but save "love on a diet" for when you're really desperate for some andy action and have exhausted your supply of kickass andy lau movies...
the once upon a time in china series...
the god of gamblers series...
old-school jackie chan... imo his 80s stuff is the best... i especially recommend 'project a' for the lloyd-esque clock tower scene alone...
so close... cos i mean, ass-kickin' shu qi and vicki zhao in tight leather wear and a cameo from song seung-hun... what does it matter what storyline it has?


i think growing up watching "bad" hong kong action flicks (mind you, i only got to know wong kar-wai in high school) has skewed my taste in films forever...

here's my suggestions:

Final Romance (starring Edison Chen and Amanda Strang)
-I really love this movie and it has Edison Chen that made me love it even more)

Needing You (starring Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng)
-its a romantic comedy..love it..the soundtrack is good too

Turn Left, Turn Right ( starring Gigi Leung and Takashi Kanashiro)
-love the movie and soundtrack

Fly Me to Polaris (starring Richie Ren and Cecilia Cheung)
-very touching movie..but its a comedy too..

Para Para Sakura (starring Aaron Kwok and Cecilia Cheung)
-love Aaron in this movie. but its musical..

QUOTE (bebemui @ Jul 17 2007, 03:09 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Why Me, Sweetie? (Louis Koo, Cherrie Ying) - romantic comedy.

^^
if you want to laugh your ass off and cry your eyes out in one movie. why me, sweetie? is the one!
honesty my favorite hong kong movie. its so silly, but the acting is great when needed!
its known to be a hong kong version of 50 first dates.

Love is Not All Around is not that great, but you should try L for Love L for Lies. same director, same cast almost. a million times better.
You should also check out Love Connected, that just came out recently. similar cast, same director.

Wait 'Til You're Older, Andy Lau, a really really touching movie.

2002, classic teenage drool over nicholas tse movie.

the list just goes on and on. hong kong really has some great movies.

If you like mystery and suspense, I highly recommend Accident starring Louis Koo and Richie Ren. It's a weird kind of suspense though... got excellent feedback and a 6-minute standing ovation from the audience at its premiere.

And anything by Jackie Chan (pre-1990s) and Stephen Chow (in 1990s) are good.

^ i just watched accident yesterday. Good movie, different and not what you'd expect. It was more of a psychological thriller than an action movie. alot better than the garbage that comes out of HK these days.

I'd recommend Hooked on You starring Miriam Yeung

if you're after a classic, check out Chungking Express by Wong Kar Wai.

^ i watched accident a few weeks ago but i didnt like it..but then again im not a big suspense/thriller fan smile.gif

i recommend my left eye sees ghost starring sammi cheng and lau ching-wan
^ it doesnt sound very romancey, but it does have romance in it.
google for a summary smile.gif cos i dont remember it well, but i remember that i liked it!

and i love steven chow movies, but his arent very romancey, but theyre so funny!!! <3
13 years and still going<3
