- FALLEN ANGELS - 95% Fallen Angels currently stands as Wong Kar-wai's highest-rated non-certified fresh movie on Rotten Tomatoes and it's easy to see why.
- IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE - 90% In the Mood for Love is one of Wong Kar-wai's most studied films due to how tragic and lovely it is at the same time. It's a love story but it also isn't as two married individuals discover that their respective spouses are having an affair, possibly even with each other.
- DAYS OF BEING WILD - 90% Speaking of wild rides, Days of Being Wild chronicles multiple love stories quite similar to that in Chungking Express. Structurally, it's a two-part movie where the first romance tale is that of a broken-hearted young woman who manages to find solace in the arms of a more mature and caring man but their love never manifests.
- CHUNGKING EXPRESS - 87% That Wong Kar-wai film that Quentin Tarantino liked so much that he distributed it to the Western audience? Chunking Express. It's one of Wong Kar-wai's earliest films too and follows an unconventional storytelling method which, in 1994, was rare for a romance movie.
Three short films, one each from Directors Michelangelo Antonioni, Steven Soderbergh, and Wong Kar Wai, address the themes of love and sex.
