Chungking Express (1994)
When I saw this the first time it became a pivotal moment for my taste in films, where romance was suddenly also an option. It is still impossible to articulate why this works so well, but I just believe in these characters and their feelings like no other films have managed to do. I have enjoyed other Wong Kar-wai films but I kept comparing them this one. Not much new to add, other than it can definitely hold up for frequent rewatches.
