I posted this on the Warrior Coalition Union.
One I saw the other day, "Snake Crane Secret"
The Story -- There are three brothers. One knows a secret about the martial arts. The other two brothers ambush him and his two young sons. The father is killed but a monk that is a master of the snake art rescues the two boys. Then one brother betrays the other, but he escapes. The younger boy was given to another monk that knew the crane style, while the older stayed with the snake master. Eventually the two sons along with their uncle, would defeat the evil uncle.
Why watch? - This has some GREAT hand to hand combat in it. Although this is a movie, these guys are really good. Its amazing to watch.
Another, "Seven Samurai"
The story -- I don't recall a lot about this one, but here goes. Seven samurai (duh) go off together and (I think) turn rebel. Anyway, they come to a village that is being slaughtered and pillaged by bandits. They are asked to help but they are reluctant. Eventually they teach the people how to fight and strategy to use against the bandits. But if I recall, they finally face off alone against them. I think a couple survive. I have only seen this once and never saw the beginning, but I was very impressed. I am going to definitely get this one.
Why watch? - This has a great story, a fantastic feel and emotion, and some great sword play and fighting.
