was disappointed to find how little of Lam, Woo, To, et al's filmography is available on streaming services.
Randomly enough I just searched for Johnnie To movies on Netflix the other day and they have a pretty good set right now. None of the more famous Johnnie films but still pretty cool ... they used to only have Three (which I didn't like much).
Netflix has Loving You (1996), Lifeline (1997), Justice My Foot (1992), Mad Monk (1993), The Barefooted Kid (1993), Don't Go Breaking My Heart (2011), Blind Detective (2013), Three (2016)

Whenever you hear a bossa nova classic sung in English it's about even odds the lyrics are his.
(Sometimes they're from Ray Gilbert or Gene Lees, who are also no longer with us).

RIght. Or every once in a while Tom Jobim even wrote them himself. Not a big fan of the Gimble or Gilbert bossa lyrics tbh.

Okay, I guess I like some of his lyrics more than I thought. "How Insensitive" for bossa, "Sway" and "Bluesette" in other styles.
