To make matters worse, she's soon framed for her husband's murder by her rapist - the son of the local magistrate! And even that isn't the end of her woes. It's best to have a box of tissues nearby as two expert directors ratchet up the emotional suspense in this consummate tearjerker.

Duel For Gold (1971) Director: Chu Yuan Cast: Ivy Ling Po, Wang Ping, Chin Han, Lo Lieh, Tsung Hua Genre: Martial Arts Synopsis Soon-to-be legendary director Chu Yuan had just joined the Shaw Brothers when he helmed this thriller of bickering bandits. Audiences loved watching three pairs of cunning male and female crooks trying to steal a million gold taels from the Fu Lai Treasury House...not knowing that one of them is actually an undercover hero. Even without him, there's no honor amongst thieves, so the double-crosses and deadly duels come fast and furious, all choreographed by Hsu Erh-niu.

How To Choose A Royal Bride (1985) Director: Lu Chun-ku Cast: Derek Yee, Joey Wang, Wang Yu, Tung Piao Genre: Comedy Synopsis Is it a historical, costumed kung-fu film or a gender-bending romantic comedy? You decide, but kung-fu film star, writer, and director Lu Chun-ku probably meant it as both. In either case, it's a delightful and exciting surprise from the man who made Holy Flame Of The Martial World and Bastard Swordsman, starring a cast of both kung-fu stalwarts and incredible beauties -- all obviously having the time of their lives in this unique change of pace.

Lifeline (1996) Director: Johnnie To Cast: Lau Ching-wan, Alex Fong, Carman Lee, Ruby Wong Genre: Drama Synopsis A heroic tale on firefighters, with a touch on the Hong Kong handover at its underlying theme, Lifeline vividly captures the ferociousness of firestorm. It also delves into the fireman's psyche: These audacious firefighters can march into disaster and risk their lives by saving others, yet would they have the equivalent courage to tackle their personal issues? The story revolves around a dutiful yet indifferent fireman (Lau Ching-wan) who strives to win back his valor and love against his strict superior (Alex Fong) and his doctor girlfriend (Carman Lee) respectively.

As he lies dying from his battle wounds, Shingen orders his clan to find a double to replace him - to keep his death secret so that his enemies will not attack.

Exactly when and why do these typical Hong Kong housewives, living in massive and anonymous public housing estates, stop feeling as if they are beautiful? When do they start specializing only in shopping for groceries every afternoon, hustling and bustling at the vegetable market just to get their eggs and apples a few bucks cheaper? Could the ancient and exotic art of belly dancing actually be their savior? Or will it bring about their downfall, as their husbands and their entire communities revolt against a dance that they think of as "decent" and only fit for fallen women?
