I recently started to get really into martial arts movies. I've always been interested in them, but not as heavaly as now.
So I am wondering witch are the best 10 martial arts movies ever made. I'm going to have a martial-arts-movie-night with some friends in a couple of months, so I could use some good tips. I'll use the best movies mentioned (if I can find them; it's hard to find kung fu-movies in Belgium). So everyone, write down your Top Ten please!

This is mine so far:
- The legend of the drunken master

1)Five Element Ninja
2)Eight Diagram Pole Fighters
3)Way of the dragon
4)Pedicab Driver
5)The Prodigal Son
6)Clan of the White Lotus
7)Invincible Armour
8)Drunken Master
9)Eastern Condors
10)Fist of Legend

I really like Ong Bak...but the second one is boring rubbish.

I have to agree that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a great martial arts film, excellent wire work and fight choreography by Woo-ping Yuen.
I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Stephen Chow films, Kung Fu Hustle is a great martial arts film.
Also, of Bruce Lee's films, I would say Fists of Fury/The Big Boss is his best:

And what about some of the other recent big Chinese productions, e.g. Hero and House of Flying Daggers?

No need to repeat all that been mentioned already. Just one thats totally missing:
Encounters of the Spooky Kind
The fight scene in the restaurant is just jaw dropping. Ten twenty guys going all out on Sammo Hung and they just cant hit him, its unbelievable.
Throw in a voodoo witchdoctor and it becomes one of the most hilarious fightscenes ever made.

What the heck. Here are the ones, many on others' lists, I have rated highest here. That doesn't mean they have the best fighting, although they all have awesome fighting, it means I thought they were the best films. Stating the obvious, but samurai and revenge films I consider separate categories.In no particular order:Once upon a Time in ChinaFist of LegendIron Monkey (1993)The Legend of Drunken MasterShaolin SoccerArahanThe Raid 2Kung Fu HustlePolice Story 3: SupercopRoyal Tramp ---It wants no straps. - Karlhttp://www.imdb.com/board/bd0000024/nest/158601447
