Once Upon A Time in China series is fantastic. Check out Hark Tsui's movies as he is the master martial-art director. I'd also recommend these:

Ashes of Time
A Chinese Ghost Story
The Legend of the Swordsman

Hmmmmm. I've heard good things about Once upon a time, but I've also heard a ton about Bride with White Hair. And then, I pretty much would trusts anything xia would profer as a suggestion, so I'm down to three now, but can't decide. I'll say by thursday I guess.

Oh for the other movies, Crouching Tiger is one of my favorite movies ever, so there isn't much to elaborate on that. I recommended others because a lot of people are familiar with CTHD, and I like people to see some of the older films for some historical perspective.

Also I may choose to leave Ashes of Time off for the first choice since it's slow-paced and is a love-or-hate movie, as a lot of Wong Kar-Wai's movies are, although it's really a stunning film for me.

Their IMDb pages:

The Bride with White Hair

Ashes of Time

Once Upon a Time in China

Once Upon a Time in China II
(II is at least as good as I, but III isn't nearly as good the first two)

A Chinese Ghost Story

Does anyone remember the movie where the ending had 2 guys fighting on poles as they were jumping around with the area burning around them. I saw that at a revivial house but I don't remember anything else about it.

Amazing, amazing film. Some of the best martial arts i've ever seen.

I saw iron monkey in theatres... I thought the acting was too comical. I didnt like the movie too much, bc the person sitting next to me had massive Body Odour problems. It ruined my experience. Theatre was pretty full, i was goup of 5 and i couldn't leave.

This is at the suggestion of Dolcevita and Neostorm indirectly. Instead of horror night this weekend, I thought perhaps we could have a Martial Arts/Import Asian film night? Anyone up for it. Here are a few I've thought about: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Hero Shaolin Soccer ... I'm at a loss for others so I need some suggestions!

Ehehe, sorry you felt your post was shot down, but this is what I meant. Not to make it regularized, but that anyone who is craving a certain of movie for the upcoming weekend go ahead and try it out. That we we know at least one person will be watching heh. I'll do it, but all you people keep picking the genres I know least about. If I were to recommend any movie, I would say The Bride with White Hair. It was one of the most influencial movies on Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, so if we've all seen that, maybe we should watch its "source" for something new. So my suggestion would be The Bride with White Hair (1993). I'll try to do it this weekend, I'm finally done with mid-terms and on vacation.

Many "Shaw Brothers" flicks are great, but I don't own any and have no clue how to get at them.

Bride with White Hair is packed with actions and has great entertainment value. You may have trouble following the story, but the action sequences are some of the best of its time and still amazing to look at right now.

Ashes of Time is nowhere to get around here and the same goes for the Chinese Ghost Story... I go with Shaolin Soccer.

After Xia's recommendation and approval, I'm going with Bride with White Hair. I've seen the trailer and it looks great, and I've always been interested in seeing it since CTHD.

That's a better option. I was about to suggest Miracle in Milan, which has nothing to do with Martial Arts or fighting, but their are two youthful lovebirds that climb polls and jump between them.

Is that true. I never have seen 2. - Speaking of Jet LI - how did you like Fist of Legend. - Also the Drunken Master series was fun.

On the movie, I remember I liked the fighting scenes better than the whole movie.
