<p>The home for the project is here at <a href="https://www.thechinesecinema.com/" rel="nofollow">The Chinese Cinema</a>. <a href="https://www.thechinesecinema.com/about/" rel="nofollow">Here</a> is the Introduction. If you want to know why I picked that title, you can read about my reasoning <a href="https://www.thechinesecinema.com/why-the-chinese-cinema/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p><p>This began as a loosely ranked list of the Chinese-language movies I'd seen since November of 2013. Then I added the ones I watched during the Summer of Sammo (May 24 - Sep 8, 2013) and everything I could find that I watched before then. It should now be a reasonably comprehensive catalogue of all the Chinese-language movies I have ever seen. </p><p>Also included are English-language films by primarily Chinese directors (John Woo, Tsui Hark, Corey Yuen, for example).</p>
