I've seen Yi-Yi, and That day on the beach, which I loved, and Taipei story and Mahjong which I liked a bit less.
Opinions on Edward yang's movies, please?
I vote NOT CRAP of course.

He's great.
I've not seen everything he's done but I love Yi Yi and A Bright Summer Day. Classic stuff.

ABSD and Yi Yi are both amazing. Really need to give both a rewatch sometime soon.
I have VCDs of A Confucian Confusion and Mahjong, remember liking the former slightly more than the latter. Mahjong wasn't helped by the UK/Euro actors, but I might be less bothered now. Really hope those two get restored at some point.
NC, huge loss that we didn't get anything more from him after Yi Yi.

For those who haven't seen it Yi-Yi is also on youtube:
