Chungking Express Movie (1994)
Two melancholy Hong Kong policemen fall in love: one with a mysterious female underworld figure, the other with a beautiful and ethereal server at a late-night restaurant he frequents.
Wong Kar-Wai's movie about two love-struck cops is filmed in impressionistic splashes of motion and color. The first half deals with Cop 223, who has broken up with his girlfriend of five years. He purchases a tin of pineapples with an expiration date of May 1 each day for a month. By the end of that time, he feels that he will either be rejoined with his love or that it too will have expired forever. The second half shows Cop 663 dealing with his breakup with his flight attendant girlfriend. He talks to his apartment furnishings until he meets a new girl at a local lunch counter.

Movie Comments & Discussion
Fast paced, dynamic, exciting, romantic, this is why this is my all time favourite film. Full of music, sites, colour and smells and that you can almost feel. All of the leads are phenomanal and it's probably the most romantic film I've ever seen without being too mushy.
