- Green Snake
- A Touch of Zen
- The Bride With White Hair 1 & 2

I'm hoping I can be known as a great writer and actor rather than sex symbol - Steven Seagal
The Yuen Biao Sharla Cheung Man version of Sword Stained with Royal Blood is among my very favorites. Ashes Of Time is another one I love, not your "typical" wyuxia though. Also the all-star Wuxia comedy Eagle Shooting Heroes (an interesting contrast to Ashes Of Time) Swordsman 2 is also excellent, i also am very fond of the first film in the Swordsman series. Ching Siu tungs "Duel To The Death" is another great one. lots of classics out there, Chinese Ghost Story and Zu warriors are def among them, must-see films :) Oh and I love Moon Warriors (This list can just keep going lol)
In terms of more modern films I thing Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was a rather important film in terms of introducing wuxia to the masses.
so many great Wuxia films out there, A recent wuxia film that I really enjoyed was "Reign Of Assassins".
Looking forward to CTHD 2 on netflix :)
Wow, I very much enjoy reading this post! Some great films on there and a couple I am adding to my watch list. Have you seen the "Bride With White Hair" films?

hi
sorry about the late reply. no, I have not yet seen 2Bride" but have been meaning to for a long time being a big fan of the stars of that film and all. Oh and please note: when I mention Ashes of time, im refering to the original version not the much more recent redux which I found inferior.
I saw CTHD2 when it came out, not impressed :(
Peace
