Great list, especially since Spring in a Small Town has entered the public domain quite a while ago now. Same is true for Havoc in Heaven and Third Sister Liu, the former one being a classy animation about the monkey king, the latter one being a classy movie with lots of traditional folk songs.

All of Zhang Yimou historical films, ranging from Hero in Qin Dynasty to Flowers of war during the WWII.
Some other nice historical movies with kungfu like Little Big Soldier (Ding Sheng), Red Cliffs (John Woo) about the 3 Kingdoms.
Shaolin Soccer (Stephen Chow) because it’s crazy and, somehow, giving a good picture of the transition to modern China
More subtle, Wong Kar-wai , with “In the mood for love” and “My blueberry nights”, though, spoken mainly in Cantonese.
And finally, Mulan, because Jacky Chan is dubbing Shang, and as he is a popstar in China, sang the soundtrack
