大家好！

I believe that watching film is an integral part of learning a language and that it can help to become accustomed to the sounds of the language. Therefore, to start another discussion, I want everybody to introduce themselves and which Chinese films the enjoy, recommend or would like to see.

我觉得为了学会外语，看电影是非常重要的。这样也可以让你很快地熟悉那个语言的声音。那么，为了开始新的讨论，我劝大家介绍一下你们自己，然后说一下你喜欢，建议还有想看的中国电影。

I look forward to reading your comments.

再见！

Hi Lin Ping!

First time posting. I been studying with Rocket audio CD's. Unfortunately I'm not too far along with my studies - never seems to be enough time during the day. Improving my Chinese is one of my resolutions for the New Year!

I agree that watching films is a big help to learning language. I have been a big fan of Chinese films for years and my friends who speak Chinese tell me my pronunciation is very good because I have become accustomed to the sound of the language from watching films. I recommend this to everyone learning the language.

Some films from the last few years I have enjoyed and would recommend :
Red Cliff 1 and 2; Crossing Hennessy; Reign of Assassins; Let The Bullets Fly

Older Films include: A World Without Thieves; Lost in Time; Infernal Affairs; Juliet in Love;
My Left Eyes Sees Ghosts; Exiled; Needing You; Throwdown; The Killer; Lost in Time:
these are all the western titles, which may differ from the original Chinese titles.
Just remember to switch to the putonghua audio soundtrack when watching the DVD

Two movies I would like to see: Shanghai Story and A Simple Life.

Thank you for the great question, Lin Ping.

Happy New Year to All!

新年快乐,所有

你好 Robert!

非常感谢你来写上你的建议和意见。Thank you very much for posting your ideas and suggestions!

I also enjoyed the Red Cliff films and Reign of Assassins.

I hope watching movies has helped you learn Mandarin and aided your ear in becoming accustomed to the sound of the language.

祝你元宵节快乐 - Happy Lantern Festival!

《精武家庭》真不错呦. Apologies as I do not know the English name offhand. It's a 功夫 movie with some pretty good action.

大家好！

Thank you Barryh and Oggie and I think I may have heard 精武家庭 called House of Fury but I'm not sure if that is true. Keep those suggestions coming in and if you find any new movies then keep us updated!
