    Several, for different reasons.

    Bad Day at Black Rock -- First movie in America that included Martial Arts.

    Enter the Dragon -- Set the Standard at the time.

    Above the Law -- Realistic Fight Scenes.

    Loved Return of the Dragon just for the Norris/Lee fight in the Colisseum.

    Oh yeah and Shanghai Noon. Is that considered a Martial Arts Movie?

    If jackie chan is in it then it counts.

    Does kungfu action theatre count? I have Roku box for my tv so I can stream Netflix and Hulu on my bedroom HDTV, and it has a free channel with tons of Kung fu movies.

    Looks like I have some movies to add to my queue! Good suggestions here. I liked Ong Bak 1 & 2, but I haven't seen 3.

    Not necessarily myt favorite, but one of the first movies depicting martial arts was "Bad Day at Black Rock" Starring Spencer Tracy as a one armed detective who knew Judo. Made in the 50's, I believe.

    We came across that one while looking for Donnie Yen movies. I never laughed so hard at a martial arts movie!
