Concubine came out tops in the web-based survey, conducted by the Hong Kong arts organization Henderson ArtReach. Wong Kar-Wai"s sexy 1991 film Days of Being Wild and John Woo"s 1998 gangster movie A Better Tomorrow followed in second and third place.
The three were among the 103 movies selected for the poll by filmmakers and Chinese film experts in March.
The late Leslie Cheung, who starred in all three top films, was voted the most popular actor of the last century, beating out martial arts icon Bruce Lee and two actors who have crossed over to Hollywood: Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Cheung, who died in 2003 after a fall from a hotel balcony, was praised in the international film community for his willingness to portray openly gay characters.
Maggie Cheung, no relation to Leslie, was named best actress of the century. The multi-lingual mainstay of Chinese film since the mid-1980s and co-star of Days of Being Wild, she won a best actress prize at Cannes last year for her role as a recovering drug addict and single mother in Clean.
Action guru Woo was named best director in the survey, which drew more than 25,000 votes. Woo is best known for his "ballet of bullets" cinematography, slow-motion sequences and double-armed gunmen in his highly violent films, including The Killer and Hard Boiled, which led to more recent Hollywood projects like Face Off and Mission: Impossible II.
