Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Crouching Tiger’s balletic brawls began a trend for super-stylised martial arts films that also gave us the beautifully shot Hero, but Ang Lee’s Oscar-winner is a treat for the eyes in more ways than one. The fighting is choreographed by the same chap who worked on The Matrix, but here the silly outfits are replaced by stunning scenery and graceful dust-ups.
