Default Movie Suggestion?

So, I've finally gotten around to playing Sleeping Dogs, and it's really making me jones for a hong kong kind of movie. Any suggestions? Preferably something on netflix.

Thanks

You might have trouble finding stuff on Canadian Netflix. But I'd recommend Hard Boiled, Internal Affairs and Police Story.

I've seen hard boiled and some of the police story's, haven't had any luck tracking down infernal affairs yet. I also remembered I have a copy of Full Time Killer.

Thanks for the suggestions all.

You can basically pick anything John Woo directed in the 80s or 90s. Maybe, A Better Tomorrow or The Killer. If you want something more recent you could look at SPL: Kill Zone or The Raid 1 & 2.

Good point. I'll track down this SPL you're talking about. I've seen the raid movies. I was hoping for something random that maybe I hadn't run across. Unfortunately my main source for foreign movies has been Netflix. I've found a few great ones on there. Topping the list is The Man from Nowhere.

Johnnie To is the man -- best director working in Hong Kong. Drug War is his most recent masterpiece. Other great films: Mad Detective, Exiled, Election, Triad Election, PTU, Fulltime Killer, and The Mission.

Philomena. I liked it, but why do the movie posters seem to promote this as some buddy movie. It had some light moments, but it was a pretty somber film.
