A gone-too-soon actor and <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/essential-classic-cantonese-songs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cantopop<\/a> singer, Cheung has contributed invaluable films to the lexicon of cinema. Whether it\u2019s drama, action, or comedy, you\u2019ll find a shining Cheung performance in any genre. To celebrate this legendary idol, here are some of the best Leslie Cheung movies of all time.<\/p>\n<h2>Our favourite Leslie Cheung movies for the ages<\/h2>\n<h3>1. All\u2019s Well, Ends Well (1992)<\/h3>\n<p>The cult-classic first entry in one of Hong Kong cinema\u2019s most prolific film series, <em>All\u2019s Well, End\u2019s Well<\/em> sees Cheung sharing the screen with legendary funnyman Stephen Chow for some slapstick humour. Following the romantic misadventures of three brothers, the lighthearted film explores how to properly nurture love. As a floral arranger who is seen enjoying more traditionally feminine hobbies, Cheung is the most effeminate of the trio. Chow\u2019s signature brand of \u201cmo lei tau\u201d comedy brings many laughs and cheeky results to <em>All\u2019s Well, End\u2019s Well<\/em>, allowing Cheung to flex his funny bone within the star-studded ensemble.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Rouge (1987)<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_204562\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-204562\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-204562 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-rouge-1.jpg\" alt=\"leslie cheung movies rouge\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-rouge-1.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-rouge-1-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-rouge-1-768x549.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-204562\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anita Mui and Cheung play doomed lovers in <i>Rouge<\/i> (Image: Golden Harvest)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Although <em>Rouge<\/em> is perhaps most famous for Anita Mui\u2019s star role, Leslie Cheung puts on just as great a performance in a fantastic movie. In 1930s Hong Kong, courtesan Fleur and the wealthy Chan Chen-pang fall in love. When they realise their love will never be accepted, the two choose to take their own lives in order to be together in the afterlife. Decades later, with the help of a modern-day couple in 1987, the ghost of Fleur looks for her lover whom she believes has become lost. Cheung\u2019s chemistry with Mui is electric in this film, which solidified the duo as top stars in Hong Kong at the time of its release. <em>Rouge<\/em> remains a top example of Cheung\u2019s power as a romantic leading man as well as his dramatic chops.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Days of Being Wild (1990)<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_204561\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-204561\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-204561 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-days-being-wild.jpg\" alt=\"days of being wild\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-days-being-wild.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-days-being-wild-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-days-being-wild-768x549.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-204561\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cheung tackles a layered role in <i>Days of Being Wild<\/i> (Image: In Gear Films)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In one of his best movies, <em>Days of Being Wild<\/em>, Leslie Cheung plays a conflicted playboy. Smooth-talker Yuddy breaks up with Li-zhen over commitment issues before moving on to a cabaret dancer. All the while, his tense relationship with his mother bubbles over when she reveals he is adopted, leading to his desire to find his birth mother. Helmed by famed Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai, the film includes many stars like Andy Lau, Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, and Tony Leung. Cheung is magnificent in his leading turn, playing such a complicated character. A frustrating role at times, Yuddy is still presented with a sense of humanity, not least owing to Cheung\u2019s stellar interpretation.<\/p>\n<h3>4. A Chinese Ghost Story (1987)<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_204566\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-204566\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-204566 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-chinese-ghost-story.jpg\" alt=\"leslie cheung movies a chinese ghost story\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-chinese-ghost-story.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-chinese-ghost-story-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-chinese-ghost-story-768x549.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-204566\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A love story is at the centre of <i>A Chinese Ghost Story<\/i> (Image: Film Workshop)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>With many spooky hijinks abound, <em>A Chinese Ghost Story<\/em> has become a cult romantic-comedy-horror movie since its initial release. Loosely based on a short story by Qing Dynasty writer Pu Songling, as well as the 1960 film <em>The Enchanting Shadow<\/em>, this film has Cheung starring as a debt collector who travels to a rural town and ends up falling in love with a beautiful enslaved ghost, played by Joey Wong. Whilst the two navigate the ghastly Underworld full of spirits both good and evil, it\u2019s the romance that ultimately gives the film its heart. Garnering a 2011 remake, <em>A Chinese Ghost Story<\/em> remains a classic of the local comedy-horror genre.<\/p>\n<h3>5. A Better Tomorrow (1986)<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_195279\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-195279\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-195279 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-a-better-tomorrow.jpg\" alt=\"leslie cheung movies a better tomorrow\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-a-better-tomorrow.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-a-better-tomorrow-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-a-better-tomorrow-768x549.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-195279\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The John Woo-directed <i>A Better Tomorrow<\/i> remains an influential Hong Kong action film (Image: Fortune Star Media)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Did you know that one of Leslie Cheung\u2019s best films is also one of Hong Kong cinema\u2019s most influential action-crime movies? Legendary action director John Woo helms the genre-defining <em>A Better Tomorrow<\/em>, which stars Cheung, Ti Lung, and Chow Yun-fat. Lung and Cheung play brothers on opposite sides of the law as a gangster and police officer. As the two brothers struggle with their relationship, the underground world of the Hong Kong triad threatens to boil over. As police officer Kit, Cheung shows off his dramatic chops and his action skills. <em>A Better Tomorrow<\/em> remains one of the most famous Hong Kong action films of all time as well as one of Cheung\u2019s most impressive roles.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Happy Together (1997)<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_204563\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-204563\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-204563 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-happy-together-1.jpg\" alt=\"leslie cheung movies happy together\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1000\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-happy-together-1.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-happy-together-1-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/03\/leslie-cheung-movies-happy-together-1-768x549.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1400px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1400\/1000;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-204563\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tony Leung stars opposite Cheung in the gay drama <i>Happy Together<\/i> (Image: Golden Harvest)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another Leslie Cheung movie directed by Wong Kar-wai, <em>Happy Together<\/em> is a staple of <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/hong-kong\/hong-kong-lgbtq-movies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hong Kong queer cinema<\/a>. Cheung and Tony Leung play lovers stuck in both Argentina and their own turbulent on-and-off relationship. Cheung plays the more promiscuous of the two men whose reckless ways lead him to getting beat up and moving back in with his ex. Both Leung and Cheung portray fire and loneliness terrifically, carrying the emotional core of the film. <em>Happy Together<\/em> remains one of the best queer films of all time \u2013 with Wong winning the award for Best Director at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival.<\/p>\n<h3>7.

When Sam wants to mentor a male singer and announces a talent-search, Wing disguises herself as a male in order to meet her idols. What follows are gender-bending hijinks alongside moments of heartfelt romance, with great performances from Anita Yuen, Carina Lau, and Cheung. <em>He\u2019s a Woman, She\u2019s a Man<\/em> also features Cheung\u2019s musicality with a great tune that won Best Original Song at the 14th Hong Kong Film Awards.<\/p>\n<h3>8.
