    There are countless.

    At the very least see Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon, or Jackie Chan and the Legend of the Drunk Master.

    Hero
    Fearless

    Other than that,
    almost anything by Jet Li or Jackie Chan. I'd recommend Bruce Lee's movies as well,
    but they're getting dated, so if you're used to modern movies, they won't look as good.

    I was going to say Crows Zero aswell, but they aren't Martial Arts; even if they are awesome films.

    I've got to disagree with Hian, there.

    I feel that Enter the Dragon is accessible to anyone with a shred of taste. That's me, though.

    this, and definitely Ip Man 2, some awesome fight sequences there

    some of Jet li stuff are pretty decent, tho I HATED Hero, most people love it

    I prefered Tai-chi master and fearless

    mostly ALL of Jachie chan "chinnese" movies are awesome, Drunken master, Fist of Fury 2, Drunken master 2, etc

    I know they aren't. But I felt they were worth mentioning just in case. After all, unless you're specifically looking for stylized fighting, most people watch these kind of movies just for the fight scenes, and Crows Zero have epic fight scenes.

    That wasn't my point though. I wasn't criticizing Bruce Lee's movies. Simply saying that if you're a person who're looking for the martial arts coreography that you see in most modern movies(and equate that with "good"), then old classics are going to look like, well, shit.

    I love the Bruce Lee movies. I just know people who get bit by the hype, watch the movie, and then go "well, that was rubbish".

    I hate "Exagerated" coreographed fights like Hero and Crouching tiger hidden dragon, I know they wanted to add the "fantasy" in it, but they look borderline ridiculous to me

    the scene where both the Nameless and (I think) Broken sword bounced off the water with the tip of their swords..on paper, it reads awesome, but on that movie, I Was struggling not to laugh at how goofy it looked

    Do they have to be in English? I know a few chinese movies and dramas. However, they aren't in english. They're english subbed though.

    One of my favorite is "The myth" starring Jackie Chan. The official film is both Cantonese and Korean in one. There is an english dubbed version of it.

    eh i think ip man 1 had better fight scenes if at least more meaningful ones
    I saw the Ip Man: the beginning in china, lots of actually incredible fight scenes


    a jet li movie i'd recc would prob be Once upon a time in China
