Have you made it a habit to buy the Mark Six lottery and fantasise about quitting your job? For Uncle Bill (Bill Tung) and his family, winning Mark Six is the most wanted dream ever, as they find themselves packed like sardines on rush-hour subway and living cheek by jowl in a subsidised apartment. This fun-filled comedy, which flourished into a four-part series, struck a chord with moviegoers when first released in the 1980s. It might go down even better in this much madder world today, where a shoebox-sized flat would easily cost more than one's entire life savings.
