O.K.
I was inspired to write this because of the other asian films thread and one poster said something about a film called 'Infernal Affairs' being super cool and awesome.
Now, my deal is that a friend of mine had been getting free vcd's of Hong Kong and other various asian films from an internet friend. My friend had no use for them and he gave them to me. The films are either martial arts, Yakuza/Triad, or other action titles. I have no clue where to start and I would like to know which films I should definately start with. To get an idea of what I am up against, there are around 100 films in this box.
I have watched these so far and liked them:
Story of Ricky
Fist of Legend
The Blade
Also along with the comment about 'Infernal Affairs', are the sequels also good? I have II and III as well.
So, if you are savvy about the live action stuff and know some titles that you recommend then please list away.
I also know that it would help to hear what is in the box, and I am going to post the list as soon as I get it all typed up...
