What are some good Mandarin Chinese movies with English subtitles?
I am learning Mandarin Chinese and I have been trying to build a collection of chinese movies. I try to get inexpensive ones from places like Amazon Marketplace and Half.com. So far, I have "Together," "Gada Meilin," and "Raise the Red Lantern." Any suggestions for what I should get next? They need to be Mandarin Chinese, not Cantonese Chinese.

- Serenity is in English / Mandarin I'll give you like a million more titles in Mandarin. Go to this site......... http://us.imdb.com/Sections/Languages/Mandarin/ then, click on a alphabet letter below and see the information of the Madarin movie.
- I agree with narator about checking out imdb. However, a couple of good movies that I have enjoyed recently include; Memoirs of a Geisha (the DVD should have both a Mandarin and an English soundtrack option), Andy Lau in A World full of Thieves (something like that??), Warriors of Heaven and Earth and Beijing Bicycle. You might also look at more recent Hong Kong output - after 1997 the industry there has been producing more movies in Mandarin rather than the traditional Cantonese(a nightmare for a friend from there who is employed doing the subs on a huge back catalogue of movies in both English and Mandarin).

- try yesasia.com They sell chinese films with english subtitles at good prices. I've bought a ton of stuff from them and have always had good results. You should check out Wong Kai War's flicks...some of his flicks...(but it might be in cantonese, not mandarin...oops. I'd check em out anyway) Chungking Express In the Mood for Love 2046 Popular Movies Crouching tiger Hidden Dragon Hero
