I can tell you my favorite martial arts spoof movie Chrys and I used to watch this show Surf Ninjas all the time growing up. It was a hoot every time too! I need to try and find that on dvd.

Enter the Dragon

Enter the Dragon is epic!

 

But my favourite martial arts films at the moment are House of Flying Daggers and The Warlords.

The Matrix?

[JamieD]

If you haven't seen the movie Ninja Assassin then YOU SHOULD. Its incredible.

 

I also liked The Matrix, Never Back Down (not so sure if it counts as martial arts) and Kung Fu Hustle (this one is really good, its a comedy mixed with some sot-so-serious moments)

 

Can't remember anymore right now..

Enter the Dragon

 

 

 

..........I agree, and he was the real deal too! None of that fake stuff you see today!

[Hamen Cheese]

Does Kung Fu Panda count? Hehe.

 

Crouching Tiger was okay. It's the only one that really comes to mind right now.

The Matrix?

It's a movie starring Keanu Reeves and Lawrence Fishburne. Basically, it was a post apocalyptic movie in which robots have taken over the world and use humans as fuel whilst keeping most of them in a computer-generated world. There are some awesome, and indeed quite memorable, martial arts scenes in the film. It's an awesome movie. It's actually a trilogy. The second and third movies are called The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolution respectively.

Hero and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon were both among my favorite as was Curse of the Golden Flower - but my favorite ones are those I would watch on Saturdays - something like Kung Fu theatre - those "b" movies where the dubbing was horrible and they always said - "so you think your Kung Fu is pretty good." and some white haired Master would kick the crap out of anyone but the hero. They were worth having it rain on a saturday

I've seen all but the Kung Fu Hustle. Not bad choices at all! Ninja Assassin was good for the action scenes, quite bloody, but a bit slow plot-wise.

[Dargon]

Ong Bak. That guy kicked some serious ass. Brutal scenes.

[thephoenix]

The Matrix, hands down.

 

It's my all-time favorite movie and nothing I've watched since then has managed to beat it.

[Hamen Cheese]

Wait!!! Wait!!! What was that comedy movie involving the main character fighting a kung fu cow?

[TetRefine]

Ninja Assassin was pretty awesome and bloody as hell! Other then that, the Jackie Chan movies from the '90s.

[LemonFresh]

Mine would have to be Ip Man which is a action/biography movie about the man who originaly trained Bruce Lee

I would put a vote in for Enter the Dragon serious, and for the farcial type, Kung Fu Hustle because I ROFLMAO every time I watch it.

 

The Matrix though...I don't consider it a martial arts film because it's stylized, and often computer generated and enhanced, not saying that it wasn't a brilliant film but I think that puts aside a lot of really good old Asian martial arts films out there choreographed and fought by some of the best known and skilled film stars and producers..Donnie Yen, Jackie Chan, Ching Siu-Tung, many more... I make the distinction because it's a lot of great martial artists out there who've never made a film.

 

A fun website to view and get up to date newer martial arts films coming out as well as remember some of the older: Best Martial Arts Films

House of the Flying Daggers.

Hero is pretty cool.

Ninja Assassin. Lots of blood, but very awesome.

I'm not sure if Blood & Flowers is martial arts, but if it is, then consider it listed.
