Films by Decade/Year (Foreign productions/co-productions)

As an alternative to the alphabetic listing on the main blog page, here is an alternative listing by year, split into decade, for each of the foreign productions I have covered in the blog. It's a good indicator of Hong Kong's appeal as an overseas film locale over the last 60 years or so. I've also included all the local films that I have covered over the years. The years correspond to the release, not the filming and for matching years, the films are in alpabetical order. Click the film links for the related posts.
