The Wong Kar-wai Collection

As Tears Go By (1988)
By the age of 14, I was already getting paid to kill. I've got more guts than most guys, right? But look at me now. I'm just an ordinary guy!

Days of Being Wild (1991)
I used to think there was a kind of bird that, once born, would keep flying until death. The fact is that the bird hasn't gone anywhere. It was dead from the beginning.

Chungking Express (1994)
Did I leave the tap running, or is the apartment getting more tearful? I always thought it would cope okay. Didn't expect it to cry so much. When people cry, they can dry their eyes with tissues. But when an apartment cries, it takes a lot to mop it up.

Ashes of Time (1994)
People say, when you can't have what you want, the best you can do is not to forget it.

Fallen Angels (1995)
We've been business partners for nearly three years. This is the first time we've ever sat together. We hardly ever see each other. I know how hard it is for a man to control his passion. Partners shouldn't get emotionally involved with each other.

Happy Together (1997)
Turns out that all lonely people are the same.

In The Mood For Love (2000)In the old days, if someone had a secret they didn't want to share... you know what they did?
They went up a mountain, found a tree, carved a hole in it, and whispered the secret into the hole. Then they covered it with mud. And leave the secret there forever.

2046 (2004)I once fell in love with someone. After a while she was gone. I couldn't stop wondering if she loved me or not. I went to 2046 hoping to find her there. But I never found her.

Eros - The Hand (2004)
I want you to remember this feeling, everytime you make my dress.

My Blueberry Nights (2007)
A few years ago, I had a dream. It began in the summer and was over by the following spring. In between, there were as many unhappy nights as there were happy days. Most of them took place in this café. And then one night, a door slammed and the dream was over.

Ashes of Time Redux (2008)
The harder you try to forget something, the more it will stick in your memory. Once I heard someone say that if you have to lose something, the best way is to keep it in your memory.

65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 36.
