I watched All About Love with Sandra Ng and Vivian Chow recently, which I enjoyed. Since I was going through a Sandra Ng kick, I also watched Portland Street Blues, which is basically an old-school gangster movie with all that entails (also features Shu Qi). I also, fairly recently, watched Cafe. Waiting. Love mainly for Megan Lai playing a lesbian, and that was quite entertaining in an absurdist way. Oh, and Peony Pavilion, which basically has Joey Yung and Rie Miyazawa as a butch/femme couple.

There are things I vaguely remember seeing bits of when I was much younger and would like to rewatch: New Dragon Gate Inn, The Heroic Trio, Tsui Hark's Green Snake, the He's a Woman, She's a Man duology, and probably more things that aren't coming to mind at the moment. I may do a deep dive into Brigitte Lin's filmography at some point because I'd like to find out how she went from doing the classic ingenue role in Outside the Window to... playing a super martial artist who just happens to be a trans woman in Tsui Hark's Swordsman series.
