Wong's films frequently appeared on best-of lists domestically and internationally. On the Hong Kong Film Awards Association's 2005 list of The Best 100 Chinese Motion Pictures, all except one of his films up to that time made the list. "Days of Being Wild" (1990) placed at number three, the highest position for a post-1980s film; other films ranked were "Chungking Express" (22), "Ashes of Time" (35), "As Tears Go By" (88), "Happy Together" (89), and "In the Mood for Love" (90). In the 2012 "Sight &amp; Sound" poll, whereby industry professionals submit ballots to determine the greatest films of all time, "In the Mood For Love" was ranked 24th, the highest-ranked film since 1980 and the sixth greatest film by a living director. "Chungking Express" and "Days of Being Wild" both ranked in the top 250; "Happy Together" and "2046" in the top 500; and "Ashes of Time" and "As Tears Go By" also featured (all but two of Wong's films to that point).
