I tried to include every relevant movie that could conceivably be chosen as a favorite, but avoided the truly crappy ones (unless it's one that some consider a guilty pleasure) or the really obscure ones. Apologies in advance if I missed your favorite, and I could possibly modify the poll if you let me know (it's the first time I do polls on this site).  I'm also thinking of doing a top 3 per year, as some years were simply overflowing with classics.  But I believe that would have to be manually calculated.  

Not sure if this will work well or not, but any suggestions welcome!

where is the masterpiece snake in monkeys shadow 1979?

Mad Monkey Kung Fu is '79. And SITMS... a masterpiece? I like it and all, but it's a knock-off flick with good action. Then again I don't think SITES is a masterpiece either, so I guess we all have our own interpretation of that term.

Not having  snake  in the monkey's shadow  is a big miss for me.  More  enjoyable than all is films listed in 79-81. 

Both SITES & snake in the monkeys are masterpieces.Especially the English dub versions .    I realise  snake in monkeys shadow is an homage to both drunken master and SITES. a fantastic one at that .
