Top 10
1. Snake in the Eagle's Shadow (1978)
2. Police Story (1985)
3. Project A (1983)
4. Drunken Master (1978)
5. Dragon's Forever (1988)
6. Wheels on Meals (1984)
7. Drunken Master 2 (1994)
8. Police Story 2 (1988)
9. City Hunter (1993)
10 Fearless Hyena (1979)
11. Heart of Dragon (1985)
+ Gorgeous (1999) (special mention for being a lovely movie)
+ Fantasy Mission Force (1982) (special mention for being)

I know that's 11 (or 13) films but hey, what can I do. It's Jackie's fault he did 13 top 10 movies... Many other good ones, too. Almost every film from 1978 to 1994 is good. Then his career went down to hell. Rumble in the Bronx was passable, but likes of Mr. Nice Guy and First Strike were hardly better than straight to video B-films...

1st is the tuxedo obviously. Shame on you all for overlooking it.
But on a serious note:

1) Drunken Master 2
2) Project A
3) Twin Dragons (My controversial sentimental pick)
4) Dragons Forever
5) Police Story
6) Miracles
7) Drunken Master
8) SITES
9) Young Master
10) Fearless Hyena

Such a hard list to make.

Oh and hello everybody. I'm new to this place :-)

Okay. I'm going to try to be judicious about this and list 10 but select 5 modern actioners and 5 old school films. Sigh! Here goes.........

Old School
Drunken Master
Fearless Hyena
Shaolin Wooden Men
Spiritual Kung Fu
New Fist Of Fury
(I know, I know, but the end fights are killer!)

Modern Actioners
Dragons Forever
Police Story
Police Story 2
The Protector (I know, I know, but the fights in this are killer!)
Who Am I?


Honorable Mentions (dang it!)
{Because these are period pieces but have a modern action feel to them.}
Mr. Canton & Lady Rose/Miracles/Black Dragon
Project A
Project A 2

{Because his character isn't prominent but his fights are the best.}
Twinkle, Twinkle, Lucky Stars
{Because this was my 1st JC film to catch on the big screen.}
Rumble In The Bronx

The Young Master – my first real introduction to Jackie Chan.
Police Story 3: Supercop – my favourite of the trilogy!
Rumble in the Bronx
Dragons Forever
Who Am I?
Project A
Drunken Master
Armour of God


I think I'll leave it at eight for now and update the final two in the future.
