100 greatest chinese-language film

When everyone is still talking about the new Oscar list, the Golden Horse Awards Committee just published a list of 100 greatest Chinese-language films, selected and voted from 483 films by filmmakers mainly from Taiwan, along with some from China, Hong Kong, and Chinese-language cinema experts around the world. At the same time, 50 greatest directors are listed. Although there are always left outs, in my opinion, this is still a try to look back at the Chinese-language cinema. The latest on the list is Leon DAI's No Puedo Vivir Sin Ti (2010), and the earliest film is Little Toys (1933) by SUN Yu.

The following is a list of the top ten films in order:
