Damn 20 years already. Truly an icon.

And what an incredible film career he had. Just absolute top-tier stuff, some of these films. Farewell My Concubine, Rouge and Happy Together... masterpieces of the highest order.

I can't find any version of A Better Tomorrow without absolute god-awful subtitles.

Farewell My Concubine is SOO good.

Truly a weird coincidence as Ive been working through the criterion Wong Kar Wai set and just watched Happy Together for the first time last night

Yeah, I just delved into Wong Kar Wai too; his movies are phenomenal. For a myriad of reasons, Happy Together has always been my favorite. Well, it’s tied with Chungking Express, but it’s hard to top it.

He’s so good in Once A Thief, such a great action/comedy

You could say it about any great screen presence who leaves too soon, but Leslie is one of those where I do stop from time to time and wonder what he might have gifted us had he still been here.

A legend in HK cinema and cantopop... really loved his performance in Once A Thief and A Chinese Ghost Story.
