- 'Kill Bill Vol. 1' (2003) IMDb Rating: 8.2/10. Assessing both volumes together, there's a good argument to be made that Quentin Tarantino's revenge epic Kill Bill is his greatest film.
- 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' (2000) IMDb Rating: 7.9/10. A movie so iconic most won't likely realize it was originally a novel, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is one of the most famous martial arts movies of all time.
- 'Hero' (2002) IMDb Rating: 7.9/10. While Hero is not Yimou Zhang's only martial arts movie, it's probably the legendary Chinese director's best. It's a staggeringly beautiful movie that tells an epic story in under two hours, with the main plot being about a lone warrior tasked with eliminating three notorious assassins before they can make a move on China's king.
- 'The Raid 2' (2014) IMDb Rating: 7.9/10. The Raid 2 currently boasts a slightly higher rating on IMDb than its predecessor (7.6/10 compared to 7.9/10).
