    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.

    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".
