Do you mean Asian cinema?
If so, like European and American cinema there are some great movies and some really ****e ones.

There are a good few threads on Asian cinema in here.
Karl is a big fan

I have the usual:

Battle Royal
Audition
Old Boy
and a few more I just can't think of, along with a small stack of Anime movies.

I think he said "Chinese Films". Battle Royale and Audition are Japanese, while Old Boy is Korean.

Well, I love the early Jackie Chan movies and I know that some of them were made in Hong Kong which was technically British at the time...but I consider them Chinese and they were great.

I haven't seen any others and wouldn't know where to start so maybe I'll keep an eye on this thread

I know, but sometimes people call the movies "Chinese" when they mean Korean, Japanese or whatever. Was just checking, thats all.

Capt'n Midnight

Some films I like

The Butterfly Murders
Mr Vampire
Hard Boiled
Farewell My Concubine
Eat Drink Man Woman

BTW Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon did not stand out as anything special to me.

Do Hong Kong films count?
If so Chunking Express and Infernal Affairs are very good indeed.
But I'm more of a Japanese cinema fan myself.

just a quick question for capt. midnight - i was just wondering what martial arts / sword play films do stand out for you if CTHD didnt? if you're a fan i mean. Because in that genre, its undoubtedly one of the best acted, scripted, choreographed & filmed. im just interested to see because it seems alot of people dont like it because it's too well known or something to that effect.

Capt'n Midnight

I just didn't like the film as much as the hype suggested I should. Yeah its a good film but just didn't to it for me.

I hated CTHD for all that ridiculous wire stuff, thought it looked like a joke. Don't get why exactly its held in such regard - the wire stuff, that is. Other then that, the choreograhy was great in the movie.

Crucifix

I quite liked Hero.

I think the whole wire thing was to signify a level of skill and spirituality where you're practically at one with nature or something. I just watched and enjoyed basically.

Drunken Master and Young Master are my favs of the old Jackie Chan one's but they're all pretty class.

Just recently, I saw a Chinese horror movie The Maid. It was good.

A good Thai movie is Ong- Bak with Tony Jaa. Great fight scenes, no stunt doubles were used. (Not a deep message movie- just a plot to explain the fighting really.)

Trippie

my favourite film is ninja in the dragon's den, there's an amazin fight sence between two guys on stilts and there's no wires or anything
