Try "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" thats a fantastic film, Jackie Chan's films are fun too but they really isn't kung-fu.

Edit-"oxymoron", a statement which contradicts itself (I think). Like "peace through power" and... no other one comes to mind maybe, "real mystical creatures".

Zu - Warriors From The Magic Mountain
Bride With White Hair
Bride With White Hair 2
Once Upon A Time In China
The Postman Fights Back
Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Wu Tang Death Squad

There are hundreds but it's hard to seperate the good from the cheese.

The best you will find are the Bride With White Hair movies hands down, followed closely by Zu Warriors From The Magic Mountain and Crouching Tiger.

I'm not a huge martial arts movie fan, but I recomend "Enter the Dragon" and "Return of the Dragon" for good Bruce Lee movies.

BTW-Did you know there is a movie forum on IW? This kinda question may belong over here...

Shaolin Soccer is quite a good recent kungfu-spoof, though you may have to have a weird sense of humour to really appreciate it. So wrong on so many accounts, horribly over-the-top and yet it's got something hilarious about it because of all that.
About the only kungfu-related movie I've ever bothered to watch till the end, btw.

Not to be confused with "paradox," which is a set of two proximate places where one can moor a boat.

Oh, movie suggestion:
The Seven Samurai. Not really a Kung Fu flick but good.

Jackie Chan?

My favorite Jackie Chan movie was The Big Brawl (1980) directed by Robert Clouse (Enter The Dragon). I don't know if it is available on DVD or tape, but I do like it the most of all his films.
