I've been adding some new movies to my Netflix list and we just recently got Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai.

Very long movie, 208 minutes, but one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's in black and white, subtitled, but just an absolutely excellent film.

I've got most Jackie Chan and Jet Li movies, but that's not what I'm looking for here. Anyone have any other good suggestions?

kung fu hustle was a great movie. I haven't laughed that hard at a movie in a long time.
of course any bruce lee movie (they had a big bruce lee day one spike a little bit a go.. i think it was spike)
if you never saw crouching tiger hidden dragon
I never saw it but I heard house of flying daggers was good.
ask a ninja on youtube.... laugh.gif

Really I'm not much of a jackie chan fan.

Azumi was just released by some big director in Japan to pay homage to the Samurai films Kurosawa inspired. It's definitely a B movie, but I enjoyed it.

And there is always Ruroni Kenshin if you are into Anime

Well, any really, but I love the samurai ones the most.

I own Kung Fu Hustle. Name a good Bruce Lee movie, I'll put them in.

I have Crouching Tiger.

I have seen House of Flying Daggers, and Ask a Ninjar = T3h Hotn3ss.

Dude, if you really loved Kung Fu Hustle, you HAVE to see Shaolin Soccer, it's even better, one of the best martial arts movies EVAR!
