    What are some of your favorite martial arts movies?

     

    Two of my recent ones are The Forbidden Kingdom and Ong Bak.

      Ip Man 1 & 2 is good for Wing Chun.

       

      Last Samurai for the authenticity of the techniques.

       

      All the Ong Baks are amazing.  

       

      Enter the Dragon, Game of Death - for obvious reasons

        I've seen the first Ong Bak movie, and Enter the Dragon. Earlier this week, I saw Ip Man 2, and really enjoyed it even though it seemed pretty predictable. I'm hoping I can ge a hold of the first Ip Man soon. Thanks for the list.

          First Ip Man was excellent. The Last Samurai was a good movie despite Tom Cruise.

            I saw Ran last week. I was sort of dreading 2 hours 40 minutes of subtitles, but I do enjoy a good Shakespeare adaptation. This take on King Lear was fantastic.

             

            Still, I think my favorite MA movie is Forbidden Kingdom.

              Since you enjoyed Kurosawa's "RAN" you may also like his "Kagemusha" and "Throne of Blood".

               

              Cheers,
