- In the Mood for Love 花樣年華 (2000) Of course, In the Mood for Love takes the top spot. Not only because it is so often called one of the greatest films of all time, but because it is actually a rather unconventional Wong film that manages the restraint and subtlety that we don't often see in his other films.

- Chungking Express 重慶森林 (1994) The yang to Fallen Angels' yin, Chungking Express is probably best known for its second story featuring Faye Wong and Tony Leung Chiu-Wai.

Wong’s family emigrated from Shanghai to Hong Kong in 1963. For many Shanghainese, assimilation of Hong Kong’s different dialect and culture was difficult.
None of Wong’s films has made as much of an impact as 2000’s In the Mood for Love, the tale of a man and woman brought together — though not all the way together — by the fact that their spouses are cheating on them with each other.
