8) Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)

Ang Lee's martial arts epic was a redefinition of its genre with breathtaking visuals and emotional depth. Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi lead the story, which weaves together honor, love, and rebellion. The bamboo forest duel of the film became an iconic cinematic moment as poetic choreography blends with raw power. It brought wuxia to the global audience and garnered four Academy Awards, including Best Foreign Language Film. Here are the strengths of the female lead played by Yeoh in Yu Shu Lien, and how Zhang's Jen Yu is both rebellious and strong.
