Ooooh, thats a great one. Saw it already, but I'm definitely going to add that to my Netflix cue to see it again.

The Iron Monkey Trilogy. All his early HK flicks are awesome. His latest, Fearless's pretty awesome too. Old school Jet Li stuff right there.

There are a few that I like. I watched the Cantonese version so I am not sure of the English name.

Once upon a time in China 1 and 2
Fang Shi Yu 1 and 2
A letter to father
Shu Dang Long Wei or something like that

The few recent one are getting much worse than what he had before.

Shaolin Temple was his bset one as far as pure martial arts goes.

I also liked teh Once Upon a Time in China series.

Hero was good as far as pure cinematography goes but I thought the pacing was too slow to be entertaining.

Fearless, his most recent film, is decent

Fist of Legend, IMO is his best movie to date.

d'oh!

I've been watching too many martial arts movies, they're starting to blend together. Next you'll say he wasn't in The Duel, or Dragon Inn, or Warriors of Heaven and Earth, . . .

OK then, Black Mask was a fun comic book movie.

I like fearless, and kiss of the dragon was good imo. Also fist of legend. Stay away from the one, it was horrible.

The One and Kiss of the Dragon were pretty good. The terrible acting of the chick in Kiss of the Dragon ruined it somewhat for me, though. I enjoyed Romeo Must Die, too.

Once Upon A Time in China series is really good.
just get everything by Jet Li. Can't really go wrong. He has maybe 2 or 3 bad movies that I've seen out of all of the good ones.

It made $34 million in Japan (I'm not familiar with its numbers in China) and did well at the Hong Kong Film Awards, which isn't something to ignore.
