Availability is an issue. I went to help, but from the available list I could only get hold of God of Cookery (and The Story of Qiu Ju which was snatched up while I was researching availability.)

I was rather hoping I'd be able to get The Cherry Orchard but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen.

God of Cookery and Labyrinth of Dreams it is then.

I'll take Yellow Fang vs. Hakushi.

Unless I'm able to take 2 black titles in which I'd sub Hakushi for Little Cheung.

Not yet. I have to wait and see how many blue titles I can resurrect before changing that rule.

Having a very hard time finding any titles to be able to choose.  will try to search some of the local rental companies but don't have a lot of hope

Is Chungking Express still available?

If so I'll take that versus Little Cheung.

Ooh, tough but awesome-sounding matchup.

I want to do another matchup (I did one a long time ago).  I couldn't find a non-Neflix one, so how about this match:
