Way too many to name!

Iron Monkey (1993)
Ip Man (2008)
Jet Li's Fearless (2006) and Hero (2002) are both fantastic.

Meals on Wheels I think is Chan's best film in terms of stunts and fight scenes.

let's see:
Come Drink With Me
One Armed Swordsman
Five Deadly Venoms
Once Upon a Time in China series
One Armed Boxer
Red Dragon Inn
Sanjuro and Redbeard (both Kurosawa films, I'm counting them because martial arts are vital aspects of the story)

There's so many, one of the things I'm looking forward to in Korea is being able to see some that I wouldn't more then likely be able to in the states...

Wow..

Iron Monkey
Master of the Flying Guillotine
Enter the 36th Chamber
Kid With Golden Arms
The Miracle Fighters
Wu-Tang vs Shaolin
Shaolin challenges Ninja

These are just off the top of my head- haven't seen a good kung fu flick in ages

IPMan wasn't Donnie Yen's best work. It was disappointing..

Did someone say Shogun Assassin? Lone Wolf and Cub man!

There was a weird kungfu movie on TV a few (hundred) times but I can never remember it- a scene with a bearded white man eating raw beef and the finale was set in what looked like a spaceship Anyone know the name??

Crippled Avengers is the sequel to 5 Deadly Venoms (though not the storyline. Just the same group). I love both!

Kung-fu Hustle.

Chinese action comedy at its finest.

@Von Ludwig

Donnie Yen was much better in Iron Monkey, as Wong Kei-Ying
Hell, even Shanghai Knights (although that movie was rubbish) had him playing a more impressive role.

Donnie hasn't had as much acclaim as a MA actor like Chow Yun Fat, Jet Li, and Jackie Chan have. But hopefully that will change.

@ NYCG

I am well aware of how it was marketed in the US. Would you agree that it was possibly done to make it more PC?

[NYC_Gal]

Most likely. I was just letting folks know that it was a sequel (name-wise at least) to make the search easier.

IM old school, Id watch almost anything by the Shaw brothers back in the day.

Some nice suggestions in this thread.

Just finished my first ever viewing of Kung Pow! Enter the Fist. What a wild trip. Sequel is supposed to come out this year according to Wiki.

Makes me want to go find a copy of Tiger and Crane Fist 1976.
