Hong Kong cinema has numerous iconic romantic movies from the 2000s, from In the Mood for Love to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Locally made movies are again contenders at Hong Kong’s box offices and film awards, but they differ from the crime thrillers and kung fu epics of past decades.

From martial arts essentials like Kung Fu Hustle to slow-burn romances such as In the Mood for Love, these are some of the best Hong Kong movies.
