House of Flying Daggers (2004)
Okay, this is kind of a cheat but considering one of the most moving aspects of the film is the star crossed lovers romance it’s hard to convince me that I’m wrong. Above the intricately choreographed fight sequences, the otherworldly scenery and epic scope is an emotionally sound story of two individuals who were meant to be, but didn’t meet at a time willing to give them a chance. Ziyi Zhang and Takeshi Kaneshiro have a chemistry that keeps the viewer completely invested throughout the entire film and leaves you mildly devastated by the movies end.
