#200. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/27/Crouching_Tiger%2C_Hidden_Dragon_%28Chinese_poster%29.png
Dir: Ang Lee
Genre: Action
Year: 2000

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was a phenomenon in the US for all the wrong reasons. This was in the early days of CGI, so the fight scenes were incredibly novel and sold this move to audiences. Don't get me wrong, they're awesome. But so is the rest of the film.

Ang Lee has a penchant for just making beautiful looking things. It's one of the reasons why I am the only person in the world who really likes Hulk (2003)! CTHD is no exception. It showcases the majesty of China with impressive location shots and set design. The love story is also simple and effective and is a nice complement to the grand scale of the movie overall.
