Martial arts must-sees???

i've got a thing for good martial arts flicks right now. After watching movies like Hero, The Thai Warrior, Master of the Flying Guillotine (goofy classic fun i know), Kung Fu Hustle, House of flying Daggers, Versus, and The legend of the Shadowless Sword, i am in need of more. i have the Legend of the Drunken Master on hold at the library. Any other recs for some modern must-see Asian fight flicks with decent to great stories? Grazie.

The Protector, Ong Bak, Duel to the Death, Chocolate, 5 Deadly Venoms, Dreadnaught, 36th Chamber of Shaolin, Encounters of the Spooky Kind, 5 Fingers of Death, The Executioner, Drunken Master (not just the sequel, Legend of Drunken Master), Knockabout, Born to Fight, and Kung Fu Master off the top of my head.

And...

Dynamite Warrior, The Rebel, Shaolin Soccer and Fighter in the wind. Also Beautiful Boxer is a great flick. More because of the (true) story than the few fights.

Crippled Masters
Pepper and Curry
Mister Vampire
Azumi

That, and I always quite liked the stunt/fight choreography in "Romeo must die", and "unleashed/danny the dog" though I assume you've seen those.
