Hello everyone I'm planning a get together with a friend soon and I was looking for some recommendations for some Chinese movies we could watch together.

So we really like science fiction and horror. Fantasy or mythology is also within our interests. We really like post-apocalyptic movies but I'd imagine that's a more niche subgenre so I figure there are probably fewer options available there. We do occasionally like animation.

We would rather not rent a movie at this time but between the two of us we have several streaming services;

• Netflix

• Hulu

• Disney+

• Paramount+

• Prime (I think)

• Peacock

Plus any of the free ones like Plex, Pluto TV, and Tubi.

I added The Wandering Earth to my Netflix watchlist because it came up in a Google search and I liked the synopsis. Someone on another subreddit said that was a good option after I had already considered it myself so that was encouraging. I also noticed an animated film called Green Snake on Netflix that looked somewhat interesting. The only issue with Green Snake is we haven't seen the first film White Snake and nobody is streaming it anywhere.

So does anyone have any suggestions? Is that a good enough description of what I'm looking for to get any ideas flowing for anyone?

So my birthday is coming up (August 26) and a game I've been wanting to play releases on the 25th (Once Human Console Edition). Because the game is owned by the Chinese company Netease I had a bit of an idea. I thought it would be interesting to explore Chinese culture a little bit during a birthday get-together I have planned with my friend.

So my reason for posting is I'm looking for Chinese movie and song recommendations. I've been looking a little bit on my own but I thought maybe I'd get some interesting suggestions here.

I'm asking this out of pure curiosity and interest and am in no way trying to be disrespectful to Chinese culture.

For the movies my friend and I like sci-fi and horror movies most of all. We really like post-apocalyptic stories as well though I understand that's a little more niche. I had thought about looking into The Wandering Earth on Netflix.

For the music I'm not picky on the genre I'm just looking for music that is upbeat and on the faster side, something we can game to and play during action scenes. I would also prefer songs with actual lyrics to them as opposed to instrumental tracks. Also in my own searching I discovered to my surprise that I may actually like Chinese rap after hearing My New Swag" (我的新衣) by Chinese rapper Vava.

I'm completely genuine about this, it's out of genuine interest and I'm not intentionally coming at this in any sort of weird way or anything. I'm only intending on approaching this respectfully.
