TEAM GONG LI. That's a pretty kickass list. Au Revoir, Les Enfants made me baaawwl, omg. I also have to say I prefer Ang Lee's pre-big budget era films like Eat Drink Man Woman and The Wedding Banquet.
If you like vintage John Woo, then I highly recommend Le Samouraï which Woo cites as a major influence and also happens to be one of my favorite movies ever. Alain Delon as eye candy doesn't hurt, either... In fact, any '60s Delon film is worth watching and not just because he's a hot piece of meat :D
For films under the "sdfjksldf??!!" genre I suggest Oldboy and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (both Korean). Think Tarantino 10x more fucked up. :P I liked the latter much more than the former but the consensus seems to be the opposite. *shrug*
