The 80's.
Without doubt, Hong Kong cinema's golden era.
Here you'll see some absolute gems like Mr. Vampire, A Chinese Ghost Story, Chicken And Duck Talk, Meal On Wheels, Project  A, Once Upon In China and Shanghai Opera Blues to name a few. All of them pure entertainment gold.

What's your favourite 80's Hong Kong movie?

Hell yeah! God I miss SBS' Saturday night cult movie show... they would always show some awesome Hong Kong Kung Fu flick or some Italian zombie movie...

Oh, and to answer your question, Once Upon a Time in China and Police Story would have to be up there amongst my favourites.

Apparently there's a 2011 version out there... although it doesn't look as good as the old one.

Ok, I didn't know about that....the one I watched was from the local library so I guess that was the old one ^^

I reallyy adore Mr. Vampire. Been a while since I saw it, maybe like a year, seeing as after it I kinda just kept going backwards in time as far as movies go and just have been watching a lot of 1950s and 1930s films, but it's still one of my favorites. Should really rewatch it..

Man, I still laugh my ass off whenever I see MR. Vampire...

I went through a phase where I refused to watch anything in colour....

I've gone through that before too, actually. ^_^; But then I got more into sci-fi from some of the older stuff like The Man From Planet X that was in black and white, then ended up watching Star Trek and other sci-fi thus resulting in watching color stuff again.
Err.. sorry for rambling on about something like that.
