July 25, 2015, 03:39 PM posted in I Have a QuestionWhat are the best current Chinese movies to watch for someone who's trying to make a jump from intermediate to upper intermediate? The lessons are great, but I think I need to start watching visuals as I hear the discussions.

Some of my favourite Chinese movies are:
Lost in Being (2007) - 苹果
Aftershock (2010) - 唐山大地震
Beijing Bicycle (2001) - 十七岁的单车
Can anyone else think of some good Chinese films?

These are all good films. 風行網is the only site I know of that you can watch them outside China. Some may be found on Youtube also. 神槍手與智多星 （大陸：犯罪、動作、喜劇）。 邊境風雲 （大陸：犯罪、動作、戲劇）。 私人訂製 （大陸：喜劇）。 雙食記 （大陸：戲劇，犯罪）。 歸來（ComingHome，大陸：戲劇） 飲食男女（台灣： 戲劇、文藝）。 流浪神狗人 （台灣：戲劇 ）。 幫幫我愛神 （台灣：戲劇、文藝）。
Two good movies directed by 姜文： 太陽照樣起來 and 鬼子來了. The latter was banned in China, and may still be.

July 25, 2015, 04:52 PM天下無賊 {tiān xià wú zéi} "A World Without Thieves" is a good movie. We watched it in my second-year Chinese class. The actor who plays the villain is named 葛優 {gě yōu}. He is one of the great modern-day Chinese actors. I recommend all of his movies. Information about "A World Without Thieves:"
Another good movie with Ge You is 非誠勿擾 {fēi chéng wù rǎo}. It was really popular. Information about 非誠勿擾
Here is some general information on Ge You and a list of movies he's been in:
Another great movie is called "The Road Home" 我的父親母親 {wǒ de fùqīn mǔqīn}. It was Zhang Ziyi's first film. It's a charming movie. I highly recommend it.
Enjoy!!
