Chinese Cinema Soundtrack

Film

Music

I keep a Spotify playlist of my favorite needle drops and OST cuts from Hong Kong and other Chinese cinema. Spotify doesn’t have a good mechanism for annotation, so I’m starting to put together this cross-post where I can keep track of the “origin” movies. I’m also tracking English titles and names of original covers, since Spotify is pretty messy about that too.

By the way, I keep a list of my favorite movies from Chinese cinema over on Letterboxd too.

The Private Eyes (1976)

Police Story (1985)

A Better Tomorrow (1986)

As Tears Go By (1988)

A Better Tomorrow III: Love & Death in Saigon (1989)

The Farewell (2019)
