Golden Horse 100 Greatest Chinese Language Films

The Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards assembled 122 industry professionals including film scholars, festival programmers, film directors, actors and producers to create a list of the 100 Greatest Chinese-Language Films. Most of the panel were Taiwanese, though, and that is reflected in the heavy representation of their filmmakers. The number 1 film was Hou Hsiao-hsien's A City of Sadness (悲情城市), winner of the Golden Lion at the 1989 Venice International Film Festival. Hou (who is the Golden Horse Film Festival's chairman) had seven films altogether on the list. Edward Yang had six films, Ang Lee and Tsai Ming-liang each had four.
