I don't know the name of the genre, but I love all the movies like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." Love them. The one we just watched, "House of Flying Daggers," however, wasn't quite as good as the others. The three stars, Ziyi Zhang, Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Andy Lau, were all so gorgeous, it was breathtaking just to watch them, but ultimately, the movie just didn't wow me enough. I still enjoyed it and am glad I saw it, but it was no "Hero," that's for sure.

Crouching Tiger was fantastic. Hero I liked less. I'm looking forward to seeing House of Flying Daggers.

Doh! You already did (see previous comment).
I liekd it a lot betetr than Hero, mainly because it didn't have the blatant propaganda ending. I still like Crouching Tiger best.
In tHoFD, for some reason, the bit in the forest where Jin is about to start kissing Mei, (when she's first dressed in men's clothes) was totally HOT. :)
