King Boxer (aka 5 Fingers of Death) is a good one. The dvd even has commentary by Quentin Tarantino. Speaking of QT, if you liked the Kill Bill movies. Then I've got a few other suggestions that include Pai Mei.
Executioners from Shaolin
Fist of the White Lotus (which is billed as a remake of/sequel to Executioners)
Slice of Death
Invincible Armour - which isn't quite as good as the other 3
Crippled Avengers (aka Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms, even though none of those characters return in this movie.)
Heroes of the East - another great Gordon Liu flick. pits chinese vs japanese
Legendary Weapons of China
Shaolin & Wu Tang - not the best pic/sound quality unless you get lucky, but still worth a viewing.
Snake & Crane - great early Jackie Chan flick
I agree with Master Killer (aka 36th Chamber of Shaolin), Drunken Master (the original), and Drunken Master part 2 (aka Dance of the Drunken Mantis).
Honorable mentions - these are rentals, while the ones above, for the most part, should be bought (these I haven't seen in a while, so can't remember exactly how good or not they are):
Challenge of the Masters
7 Grand Masters
Drunken Monkey - isn't bad, just interesting to see the mixture of these 2 styles.
Fists and Guts
Gravedigger - not nearly the best kung fu flick, but a bit interesting cuz it has zombie style in it. although that's not seen a lot in the movie.
Shaolin Tiger Claw
