House of Flying Daggers
I rented this movie because I really liked Crouching Tiger. I find these movies about ancient Asian culture traditions and values really inspiring and beautiful. The Kung Fu fighting scenes are excellent as well 
.
This film form Zhang Yimou has a combination of beautiful music, intense conflict, stirring love and excellently choreographed and acted fighting scene. The movie centers around a mysterious rebel group called the House of Flying Daggers. These highly disciplined and well trained warrior bandits (like Asian Robin Hoods) battle the corrupt and oppressive government officials and provide hope for the ordinary people.
Problems arise when love is sparked between two fighters on opposite sides of an impending battle. There are many twists and turns that keep the viewer guessing and engaged. The action sequences are expertly interwoven with scenes that allow you to get to know the characters and feel for them when their life changing dilemma arises.
Kinda wish I had seen this one on the big screen
