House of Flying Daggers/Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (SE) (DVD, 2005, 2-Disc Set, Side by Side)

We bought these movies because of the martial arts theme - but loved them for the epic love stories. These movies have something for everyone - drama, love, action, adventure... These movies will have you glued to your seat. They are the favorite movies of my family. We watch them over and over again. Don't be afraid to try these movies - you'll love them. Both of the movies are epic battles of good vs. bad. The stunt work and scenery in both movies is wonderful. The most fantastic scenes are in the bamboo forest. Unfortunately, both movies have a poignant end that will leave you crying.

House of Flying Daggers is about a group called the Flying Daggers who oppose the current rulers in the land. The blind daughter of the old leader is placed in a pleasure house and is used by the rulers to locate in Flying Daggers. Surprises abound in this film.

Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon is a two point story - the love story and the epic battle for the sword called the Green Destiny. The twists and turns of this movie will amaze you.

My 11 year old son and 5 year old granddaughter both love the movies. My son says they both have a unique and entertaining story line.
