There’s also Arthur Dong’s pertinent doc film “Hollywood Chinese” which includes interview clips w/many of the actors from the films on your list.

Come on!!! “Ping Pong Playa” by Academy Award winner Jessica Yu didn’t get a mention? Best quote from a viewer after a sold out premier: “I laughed so hard I peed my pants….”

Ngor becomes the first Asian male to win an Academy Award® for acting (best supporring actor). He is Cambodian-Chinese.

You can watch Arthur Dong’s documentary about him online: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/haingngordocumentary

Love your list! I’ll also mention, Eat a Bowl of Tea, was one that had a huge influence on me.
