I am, but I rarely watch a movie more than once. So I mainly download and sometimes rent.

I should put together a list of what I've got. I've got maybe 80 anime titles and 30-40 kung fu movies and another 30-40 hk action movies.

I see it around, but have heard only bad things about the film, on the box it looks like a crouching tiger rip.

So I never picked it up. Is it really good?

I've been watching Hong Kong movies all my life.

Just recently got into Japanese and Korean movies too, though Blockbuster and Hollywood Video seems to be in serious lack of them. I also watch anime, but not much anymore since its so time consuming. I have no idea how many movies I've seen or own, so no list for me.

Favorite Hong Kong movie: too many to list...

China movie: To Live and Emperor and the Assassin
Korean movie: Taegukgi and Friend
Japanese movie (non anime): Yojimbo and Battle Royale
Anime movie: Cowboy Bebop and Princess Mononoke
Anime: Fullmetal Alchemist

Edit: RnB180, how is Casshern? I've been meaning to see it but I get a lot of mixed reviews.

My sassy girl all the way!
Btw, I don't see some classic masterpieces on your list like 'red lantern', 'farewell my concubine', 'violin', etc. It looks fun though.

About half of my collection is Asian. I guess you're mostly into the newer-style action titles.

Here's a few random films that might be worth watching:

Not One Less
Scent of Green Papayas
Zatoichi 2003
Last Life in the Universe
twilight samurai

Legend of Zu came out before Hidden Dragon. Its more of a sci-fi fantasy action then a kung fu movie. I like it becuase of the special effects.
I also just got House of flying dagger - its ok, and Arahan (korean) which is also ok. I need to check out some of these other movies you guys got listed.

Anime that is good is : Demon Eye Kyo
My all time favorite anime: Ninja Scroll and Fist of the North Star
Favorite special effect kung fu movie: Storm Rider
Favorite kung fu series: Legend of Condor (the older version ~ early 80's)
