Favorite Martial Arts Flick

Hey... I'm not sure if anybody did this type of stuff before, but here goes.

I remember how I used to think that the martial arts in recent movies like The One or the Matrix were pure gold, but after discovering older movies, I have completely changed my mind. Movies like Bruce Lee's unfinished "The Game of Death" or Jackie Chan's Drunken Master had lengthy martial arts fights with good camera styles. Unlike today's movies, the fights on these movies actually lasted longer than two minutes and had the combatants block/counterattack each other' moves. The filming were good, as they weren't jittery, showing only the attacks or only focusing on one person at a time. It focused on two people duking it out with their moves.

Anyways, what's your favorite martial arts movie? I haven't seen much, but I have to say Drunken Master takes the cake for me. Nothing beats fighting while drunk.
