I have some on my queue that I haven't been able to find, and I too want to see more Taiwan films.
I recently enjoyed One Day (2010).
The problem with Taiwan is that a lot of their talent goes into multinational productions with HK/mainland/Hollywood films that are often crappy or bland -- I don't think you can call Hou Hsiao-Hsien and Ang Lee films "taiwanese" for that reason. I didn't like Millennium Mambo as much as senor sitenoise did. Also a lot of talent goes into the tv-drama vortex, like in Korea. They've had a couple smash-hits with this "youthful romance" genre that's big in China: Our Times (2015) and You Are the Apple of My Eye (2011) which I liked a lot, although a bit saccharine.
Honorable mention to The Hole (1998), which is kind of a must-see and is about as Taipei as it gets.
