TC, Letters from Iwo Jima is an excellent movie. 

Last Samura and Sayuri are inaccurate.

Lost in translation is a bit better but still inaccurate.

Come scnese from Cars2 is much better than the whole of Last Samurai.

Tetsuo: The Iron Man

The RaidJack-Burton

Jet Li and Jackie Chan movies are always good. Along with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there's also Hero, The Warlords, House of Flying Daggers, Rurouni Kensin (live action), Seven Samurai (classic), old Godzilla movies, and Miyamoto Musashi :)

Lets see:

Oldboy

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance

I Saw the Devil

Battle Royale

The Host

IP Man 1 and 2

Fearless

Shutter

Ong Bak the Thai Warrior

The Raid: Redemption

I love 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' and think 'The Last Samurai' is a great movie. 'Letters from Iwo Jima' is also a really great war movie =) sad but great!

Other great live-action asian movies I remmeber having seen:

Kung Fu Hustle
Hero
Life of Pi
Lost in Translation (it's not asian but it gives you a great glimpse of Tokyo, it's culture and it's people)

I also leave you here 2 asian animated movies materpieces, in case you haven't seen them:

Spirited Away
Grave of the Fireflies

great movie~

princess mononoke (while not a relevant to the history of asia or culture in-duirectly this is one of the most successfull animated films to come from japan and is considered a work of art)

all three are by hayao miyazaki aka the greatest animted genius the world has.

OOPS

A couple that haven't been suggested yet. Little Red Flowers A Tale of Two Sisters Anything else by Akira Kawisawa such as Hidden Fortress but mainly Seven Samurai.ZX81plus3

Oh yeah gotta vouch for A Tale of Two Sisters. If anything that ending makes the whole movie worth it. Really a brilliant story there with a FANTASTIC ending!

And I completely forgot animated movies. TC, if you want animated suggestions then that is a whole other list in itself...

Most of the stuff have already been mentioned, so im not going to repeat it.

Initial D( the live action, not the cartoons) - it's about car racing and stuff.

Curse of the Golden Flower

Shaolin Soccer - its a good comedy, same actor in kung fu Hustle.

Goemon

 all the IP man movies

The Raid

You forget a major thing that makes all those movies stand out from the martial-arts pack: They actually have quite good stories surrounding the fighting.

I would say that beyond the awesome action, the stories in all those movies really made them stand-out to me. Especially love Jet-Li's character in Fearless.

I don't really like asian films, or any subtitled movie to be honest, but I enjoyed The Raid.

watching IP man , fvcking awesome XD
