Totally- Shaolin Soccar is awesome!!!

I reccommend it to anyone- but not dubbed- must be subtitled or translated by someone in the room

The recent Zatochi. Very good.

Musa- If you like Xiang Xi Xi and swords this movie is for you. Huge production value, great cinematography, great plot. Must see.

Ong Bak- Fight scenes are the best out there. So-so plot. Sequel is out I hear.

Fist of Legend- Jet Li's best. Everything since has been overproduced.

Blade ll- Wesley Snipes and the Blade series is underrated. Snipes is an actor with surprising MA ability. Certainly more entertaining than the likes of Segal, Speakman, Norris et al. Blade ll is an interesting blend of horror and ma genres. Go rent it and see.

CTHD- A movie for art house snobs. Puts most action addicts to sleep but for excellent story telling & cinematography.

House of Flying Daggers/Lovers- Another Xiang Xi Xi vehicle. Lavish sets and costumes. Not so special fight choreography. Eye candy.

Gladiator-C'mon guys get with it. Roman dudes were all about watching the fights. Add to your collection.

Last Samurai- Wanted to hate it, but actually loved it. A very restrained Tom Cruise. A keeper.

Highlander- The original. What a concept. The sequels and series, drivel.

Big Trouble in Little China- A cult classic. A young Kurt Russel before Goldie Hawn and Kim Cattral before Sex and the City.

Ronin-Not really martial arts, but if Deniro were going to do martial arts this is it. Apes the ethos so you gotta give it a thumbs up.

It didn't exactally have heaps of martial arts in it, but "The Crow" is probably my all time favourite after "Cradle 2 the Grave". Brandon Lee is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO adorable and he just has the graceful movement in everything he does. I wish he was still making movies today

And the lines, LOL. Only thing better then an old fighting movie is the lame, yet extremely creative dialogue. Top movie!

For me, the Bruce Lee movies are still very special, maybe because of their impact on martial arts at that time.
