Asian cinema and martial arts films, from the huangmei opera films of the 1950's, the swordplay films of the 1960's, the kung fu films of the 1970's, the new wave of the 1980's and 1990's, and the breathtaking cinema of today from the Korean comedies and action films to the craziness of Japanese cinema to the frenetic action of Hong Kong action films as well as remakes to Asian films, such as the Academy Award winning film The Departed, the remake to Hong Kong's Infernal Affairs; and Asian-American cinema, films made by Asian-Americans, such as Justin Lin's Better Luck Tomorrow.
