    Martial Art Movies?

    Just saw some Hong Kong flicks and was amazed at what I'm missing out of. Now my question to you is, are there any nice marital art centered movies worth watching? Please don't put Americanized movies like "Romeo Must Die" or "Shanghai Knights". Bonus marks for movies in a setting similar to that of "House of Flying Daggers.

    Current List:
    Dead or Alive
    Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
    The Protector
    Return of the Dragon
    Legend of the Drunken Master

    Thanks to those who helped.

      Dead or Alive

      Actually, I don't know many. Kung Fu Hustle was awesome, but I'm sure everyone's seen it by now.

          Kung Fu Hustle was great. Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was good too. Same with another Martial Art movie by Stephen Chow that I don't think was released in the US.

              Kung Fu Hustle was a parody I believe. Enjoyable nevertheless. Shaolin Soccer was pretty cool as well.
              Hoping for serious movies. =|

                      Ong Bak was awesome, planning to buy as soon as I get the money. Saw "The New Police Story". Awesome. Can't find the older ones anywhere though. =(
                      Adding "The Protector".

                                      Ohh man. I could be here all day. I guess I will start by saying look into Bruce Lee. I mean, it's obvious like but I think it's a good place to start. Watch his films first.

                                          I was hoping for newer movies. Movies that wasn't influenced by America during productions in other words ones not planned to leave Asia. I'll watch some of Bruce's stuff when I get the chance.

                                              How about Curse of the Golden Flower, even though it's more like a drama than an action flick?
