The Inglorious Bastards (product link) War / Action/Adventure Highly entertaining war movie from Enzo G. Castellari. Some great epic action scenes, all the more impressive when you consider the budget limitations. Recommended.
The Sword [1971] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Highly influential and important wuxia starring Jimmy Wang Yu in what may be his best ever performance. If you have any interest in the wuxia genre at all, you need to see this movie.
The Fate Of Lee Khan (product link) Martial Arts / Drama Another classic from King Hu, although not as action-packed as most martial arts films of the time. Still worth watching though for King Hu's wonderful direction and the intricacies of the plot played out well by a good cast.
Five Shaolin Masters (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure "Five Shaolin Masters" is probably the best film in Chang Cheh's Shaolin cycle and a great film in its own right. It also has one of the best scores for a martial arts film I have heard in awhile.

I actually believe this is "probably " the best kung fu movie ever.
Heroes Two (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts The first film in Chang Cheh's Shaolin cycle, dealing with the aftermath of the burning of the temple by the Manchus. Pretty entertaining for the most part, although I felt the fight scenes weren't quite up to Lau Kar-Leung's highest standard.
The Boxer From Shantung (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Chen Kuan Tai's leading man debut and a pretty good kung fu/gangster flick--until the last 20 minutes, when it explodes into an all-out orgy of violence and mayhem with Chen Kuan Tai taking on the whole of the axe gang--has to be seen to be believed!!
The Heroic Ones (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Epic martials arts action film from the legendary Chang Cheh. Slightly complicated at the beginning because of so many characters, but soon settles down into almost continual fight scenes on a scale rarely seen in kung fu cinema.
The One Armed Boxer (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure A bona-fide crazy kung fu movie at equal times exciting and hilarious (see those arms stretch out). A must-watch for fans of "Master of the Flying Guillotine", as this is the first film in the series with Jimmy Wang-Yu as the One-Armed Boxer.

Jimmy Wang-Yu is my favorite Martial Arts actor. I've never been disappointed with any of his movies
The Chinese Boxer (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure The kung fu movie that started it all, preceeding even Bruce Lee! A must-watch for all martials arts fans.
