mine are:

-Fearless
-Invisible Target
-SPL
-Ong Bak
-Dragon Tiger Gate

Some older/random martial arts movies I like:

The Bodyguard From Beijing
Black Mask
Fist of Legend
Swordsman 2
The Tai Chi Master
The Contract Killer
High Risk
Enter the Dragon
Master of the Flying Guillotine
Iron Monkey

Basically you can't go wrong with any Jet Li, Yuen Wo Ping and 70's kung fu.

And of course modern martial arts movies like Crouching Tiger, Hero, House of Flying Daggers, etc.

For non martial arts, I like Takeshi Kitano and Ryuhei Kitamura movies, and some other random Japanese films.

Versus
Azumi
Sky High
Alive
Aragami
2LDK
Brother
Hana Bi
Zatoichi
The Princess Blade

I still have a lot to see, I haven't watched a lot of asian films in the past year or so. Most of this is coming from 3-4 years ago. And I forget a lot of the names of some of the ones I have watched lol. =/

Technically I think some of Bruces films (or at least Enter the Dragon) are American, but ehh, it's Bruce Lee. You talk about asian action or kung fu movies, you have to mention Bruce Lee lol.

Versus essentially is a really bad and dumb movie, but it's so enjoyable, I don't understand how anyone could dislike it lol.
