If you don't mind some comedy with your kungfu, you can't go wrong with the two flicks where Sammo Hung and Lau Kar Leung go at each other; Pedicab Driver and Skinny Tiger Fat Dragon.

the mother/crane father tiger movie Kuntawman speaks is called Shaolin Executioners. If you liked that don't miss Fist of the White Lotus, which is I think the sequel and is a little better actually. This is the one starring Gordon Lui. There was a more recent Fist of the White Lotus that I didn't like and Gordon Lui is not in.

Also, if you're in to authentic styles check out some of these Mainland (as opposed to Hong Kong) flicks:

1.UNdaunted Wutang: All the mainland films are really beautiful. This one is famous for featuring internal styles such as Bagua, Hsing-I, and Tai Chi. Mainland movies have a little less action and more of a historical bent. Note, this is not part of the WU-Tang series, just similar title.
2. Holy Robe of Shaolin. This was released in the US as "Shaolin and Wu Tang Two: Wu tang Invasion" It features alot more action.
3. Revenge of the Tai Chi Master= first time I'd ever seen pushing hands. It's got some chicks doing tai chi boxing too.

There are more too like Shaolin Temple 3 starring Jet Lee, etc..

They are not as stylish as the HK ones but the action and scenery are oftn superior. Maybe BlackTaoist or one of those guys could clarify this a little if they feel like

Lo Meng knows authentic Mantis Fist (which he started learning young) still works out SIX HOURS A DAY (according to his recent interview he does it naturally using trees and branches) to maintain his physique and everyone raves about the great shape Philip Kwok is in, it's a wonder they haven't appeared in any recent movies together.
