I suspect I'll feel stupid for asking, but...chambara?
I need to see Bride With White Hair. i've heard a lot of good things about it. (Yet, don't know the plot...)
This has it's share of wuxia crack, including Our Heroine using storms of rose petals to fend off villains, possession, and villains who have (for lack of a better word) tentacle-like chains. It is fairly subdued compared to what it could be, though(and compared to some non-supernatural wuxia, for that matter) and pretty well done despite some plot holes.
Some of the Korean stuff is pretty good...I'm also very fond of The Duelist and Shadowless Sword, but some of it is...odd. Bichunmoo comes to mind. Good story, but kinda confusingly told, and with occasionally odd cinematography.
