ten, huh? That's not going to leave a lot of room for error. I'll not repeat any of yours (although I like the list a lot, and would put most of them on mine if you hadn't beat me to it.)

The Chinese Connection
Mad Monkey Kung Fu
Dragons Forever
Police Story
Five Fingers of Death
Dance of the Drunk Mantis
Knockabout
The Victim
Once Upon a Time in China 2
and one american flick...
Big Trouble in Little China

Shaolin Martial Arts (not to be confused with Martial Arts of Shaolin) (1974).

Pedicab Driver (1989).

Master Killer (1978).

The Victim (1979).

Drunken Master II (1994).

The Kid From Kwangtung (1982).

Prodigal Son (1981).

Shaolin Challenges Ninja (Heroes of the East) (1978).

Executioner From Shaolin (1977).

Wheels on Meals (1984).

Mine are listed in no particular order, but my favorite IS Shaolin Martial Arts...this movie not only introduced Gordon Liu, Leung Ka-Yan and Wong Lung-Wei, but as far as I know, was the first to have extended training sequences, and influenced later kung fu films as far as that goes.

Sorry ish

but Romeo must Die sucks, well atleast in my opinion definately no where near Jet Li's best
too much wire tricks, and the x-ray scenes were corny. the best part of the movie was the fat wanna be bodyguard that always got his ass kicked.

more must see flicks

Shanghai Affairs- Donnie Yen and the guy who played Iron Monkey

Barefoot Kid- Ti Lung

Blade of Fury- Ti Lung/Sammo Hung

Sam the Pron/Iron Bridge

KickBoxer- Yuen Biao

Warriors2- Sammo

Martial Club- Gordon Lui

Legend of the Wolf- Donnie Yen

Legend of Drunken Tiger

One Arm Hero

East is Red- Bridgette Lin

Yes Madaam- Cynthia Rothrock and Michele Yeow

believe it or not Georgeous is good one

Romeo Must Die was really bad, IMO. Jet Li's worst flick that I've seen
