The Matrix, first movie, I love how everything has a parallel with our own world, also a lot of the movies ideas, messages have underlying concepts in Buddhism, which is just cool.

#12I watch mostly Chinese movies. I think my favorite one is "You Are The Apple of My Eye". You can watch it on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4gZIolIrxw&list=FLSZdbc5... It is a love story about first love. This is one of those stories which everyone can relate to some extant. It is a very very cute story. It has English subtitles!
I think movie media (with subtitles) is one of the best ways to learn a language. I have been trying to learn Mandarin for a few months now, so can you please make some more suggestions? Thanks!
I was just looking through all the Chinese movies I know on youtube.. It seems that most of them do not have subtitles... I will keep looking and see if I can find a few more.

#13Enter The Void. A powerful parade of colors that takes you through the different stages of death. One does not simply watch this movie. One experiences it.
When I saw it more than half the audience walked out. There was even a couple that walked out just before the credits started rolling (for those who haven't seen it, it's almost three hours long).
Excellent film.

I used to create a Chinese movie list for a friend from France.

#16Drive. Blown away by it. Thought it was another car racing film after seeing the trailer, but it was actually IMHO the best film in 2011.
Edit: Forgot the why: Minimalistic. Beathiful Story and propably the best music editing in a film.

I am not sure if it is relevant. The most famous Chinese dating show now has a channel on youtube and the show supports English subtitles. I just took a look at it. The translation is very accurate and they show English and Chinese at the same time. I think it can be very helpful for you in learning English. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmGYsqlsbdQ
