In ancient China, before the reign of the first emperor, warring factions throughout the Six Kingdoms plot to assassinate the most powerful ruler, Qin. When a minor official defeats Qin's three principal enemies, he is summoned to the palace to tell Qin the story of his surprising victory.
There's no way Hero wouldn't be on this list. A beautiful and jaw-dropping tale of epic proportions filled with so many memorable scenes and so much cinematography perfection that it blows your mind again and again. I dare to say that a dozen of the fighting sequences are the best I've ever seen, and must be some of the most amazing battles ever put on film. The sword fight over the lake comes to mind immediately, it's like beautiful poetry came alive and started fighting.
It's also hard not to like the cast, we have the awesome Jet Li, the always great Tony Leung (2046, In the Mood for Love), Maggie Cheung (2046) and Zhang Ziyi (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). So it's quite a group of people. all coming together to form a perfect piece of cinema that's worth every second of your time.
Genre: Action/Drama/History
