- 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.
- 2046 (2004) Again, for me, 2046 and In the Mood for Love hold the same standing in my heart, though the latter wins out for the top spot for obvious reasons and because of how it changed upon rewatch.
- Happy Together 春光乍洩 (1997) After much deliberation, Happy Together is number 3. While it originally held the number 2 spot, my personal connection to 2046 won over any unbiased defenses.
- 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.
