Answer 1

Best of the best!

Answer 2

Baramui Fighter (2004) aka Fighter in the Wind
Probably the best Martial arts movie since Enter the Dragon. Follow the path of Choi Baedal as he emigrates from Korea to Japan to learn to be a fighter pilot...and what happens next is the stuff of legend. The fight scenes are the most realistic ever done...no wires...no trampolines...just the awesome and awe-inspiring story of a man...who would become one of the 'Iron Men of Japan"....one of the most loved and respected martial artists of all time.

S.P.L.: Sha po lang (2005)
Set to retire due to a terminal brain tumor, detective Simon Yam knows there's only one way for him and his loyal squad to deal with triad kingpin Sammo Hung and his troops: force on force. But no matter how hard they press - and they press HARD - Sammo presses back harder, and usually after he walks free when it becomes apparent Simon and his boys have violated every police procedure and human right imaginable in an effort to secure an apprehension.
Donnie Yen stars as the new detective assigned to this team and what happens when he uncovers the true nature of the animosity between his squad and the crime boss. Brutal...brutal...brutal.... no holds barred martial arts action at its best Wait until you meet the assassin....whew!!

For over the top martial arts action also check out Donnie Yen in
Chat gim (2005) aka Seven Swords and
Lung fu moon (2006) aka Dragon Tiger Gate...

also good crazy kinetic Kung Fu mayhem in

Death Trance (2005)
Versus (2000/II)

and the ultimate Ninja vs Ninja to the death action movie of all time...Shinobi:Heart under Blade (2005)
Shinobi centers on the drama resulting from the war between two ninja clans in the early part of the Tokugawa era. Totally unreal nonstop martial arts action surrounds a love story doomed from the very start. Excellent

Also try
Muyeong geom (2005) aka Shadowless Sword...for an awesome story...equal to Fighter in the Wind. Not as much fighting as in Fighter...but a modern day classic all the same
=====================
Ong-bak (2003) and
Tom yum goong (2005) aka The Protector...these last two must be seen to be believed...Tony Jaa's deadly Muay Thai skills are a must see.

Answer 3

Enter the Dragon is right up there, um, a lot of Jackie Chan's movies are great, Fearless Hyiena, Drunken Master, some of the more recent ones, House of Flying Daggers, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Iron Monkey, Fearless... hope this helps.

Answer 4

Enter The Dragon of course. Others are Snake In The Eagles Shadow, Drunken Master, Prodigal Son, Knockabout, and The Young Master.

Answer 5

Enter the Dragon

Answer 6

Have you seen "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" (1993)? The story of his life.
Or for a little comic relief how about: "They Call Me Bruce?" (1982).
