I can only think of one, "The Inn of the Sixth Happiness" (1958) starring Ingrid Bergman, Robert Donat (playing the village mandarin), and Kurt Jurgens (playing a Sino-Dutch officer of the Chinese Army). It was a favourite of mine as a child, the score by Sir Malcolm Arnold sticking in my mind, especially the children singing 'This Old Man' as they made their escape from the invading chinese.

Desperado Outpost from 1959, Eight Hundred Heroes from 1976, and Fort Graveyard from 1965 were forgotten, and the English title for "Tunnel War" is actually called Tunnel Warfare (Di dao zhan).
