Anyone got any recommendations for good Kung-Fu movies? I've watched pretty much all the Bruce Lee ones, Crouching Tiger and Police Story, so anything else would be great.
 
Drunken Master and Drunken Master 2. If you can watch them and not enjoy it then I don't think you are human.

Other than that: Hero, Fearless, House Of Flying Daggers, Kung Fu Hustle (it is a comedy though). I'm missing out a few but those ones should all be easy to purchase.
 
The Legend of Fong-Sai Yuk I & II. Awesome, awesome films. So funny too.

Snake in the Eagles Shadow.

Anything with Jackie Chan, Yuen Siu Tien or Jet Li.
 
The new Jackie Chan and Jet Li movie called 'The Forbidden Kingdom'. Great action sequences

Classic Jackie Chan:

Armor of God
Project A
Wheels on Meals
Rumble in the bronx

Forbidden Kingdom is terrible as Kung Fu goes, it has a few semi decent fight scenes but overall its rubbish. The lead american actor is terrible.....only redeeming feature is Jet Li as the Monkey King. :)

Some to watch.

Drunken Master 1 and 2 (make sure you watch the Cantonese version of DM II as the American version has ruined music and sound)

Dragons Forever (Jackie chan, Yuen Biao, Samo Hung), some excellent fights.

Kiss of the Dragon (Jet Li)

Fearless (Jet Li)

Police Story II (not as superb as the first but still good)

Operation Condor - Armour of God II (Jackie Chan - stupid plot/crap acting/but some nice fighting)

Fist of Legend (Jet Li - probably his best kung fu film imo)

There are plenty of other good ones. :) Stay away from rubbish like House of Flying Daggers/Hero, arty farty wires and nice visuals instead of proper action.

While it is indeed great surely it comes under the category of a Bruce Lee film and since the OP has watched them..... or do you mean that there aren't any other good kung fu films?

Might as well suggest a few more while I can: Romeo Must Die, Danny The Dog (Unleashed) and The Mystery Of Chess Boxing (stars Donnie Yen), My Lucky Stars.
 
It's all about the old school.....some Shaw Brother stuff is what you want.

The Kid with Golden Arms
The Eight Diagram Pole Fighter
36th Chamber of Shaolin
Heroes Of The East
Crippled Avengers

Classic...
