Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Hero, House of Flying Daggers

It is hard for me to say which of these movies I like better than the other. They all take an original idea and frame it in that Asian style we all have come to love. There is always a seemlessness and fluidity to these movies that seems attractive to American audiences--probably because american movies are not made like this, thus accounting for their popularity amongst us Americans despite the subtitles.

The Actions scenes are less violent and more dance-like--they are visually exciting without the need for high explosives. Because of this I can't say which I like better, they are all have different plots and objectives, yet they all contain that asian feel that is refreshingly attractive.

If you haven't seen all of these I recommend all three.
