Ok, untill last night I had never seen any of his classic movies (IE: any of the old dubbed ones). I saw Drunken Master last night, and then after it I found one where he's being chased by some gang, didn't catch the name of that one, but the point is, those two movies were better than all the others Ive seen (Rush Hour, Shanghai Noon, their sequals, the Tuxedo, etc. etc.) So I looked up a filmography of the guy and holy damn, he has made eighty billion movies. Basically what Im looking for is the best of the best, what are some of the really good ones?
That and a name for the gang one, I think the gang was trying to muscle in on some little shop and it kept getting wrecked, a running gag with that. Musta been totaled like 4 times.
Thanks in advance for the help!

DO IT!
Operation Condor (condor? maybe condor, or some other bird)
Also, "Who am I?" was a decent flick. "Mr. Nice Guy" had a horribly cliched story and awful acting, but good action scenes, and a really hot redhead in her undies.
Other good ones include Rumble in the Bronx, Mr. Nice Guy, Twin Dragons, and The Legend of Drunken Master.

I think Ive seen Condor but its been awhile, doesnt he fight in a wind tunnel in that one? And man, I loved Drunken Master, watching Jackie act drunk and his mom act all sad and pathetic was pretty awesome, that coupled with the awesome fight scenes? but yeah, you guys already know how awesome that one is, thanks for the suggestions so far! Keep em comin!
Oh, any chance theres like a big collection with several of his movies?

Most of these I plan on putting on my running christmas/birthday list for my family, so a DVD collection would be nice, but thats not a must or anything.

its really fucking cool

And for fans of old-school, Snake In The Eagle's Shadow
The original Drunken Master (what people have been referring to in this thread so far is Drunken Master 2, released in the US many years later as Legend of Drunken Master) is pretty good too.
Sammo Hung, who frequently co-starred with Jackie, has done some stellar work, as well. Eastern Condors, Pedicab Driver, Enter The Fat Dragon (his Bruce Lee impersonation rules), The Magnificent Butcher. I could go on and on.
Anyway, I'll try looking for some places that carry some of these DVDs for cheap.

Fuck
I think I'll go watch it again.

Even Jackie Chan has admitted as much. The weak finish with the hovercraft has always bugged him, but he couldn't help it. He broke his leg during that jump from the parking garage to the balcony across the street, and had to wear a hidden cast during the rest of filming.
And the "we should be drinking tea together" moment where he brings the gang around was pretty corny, too.
I think a lot of people remember it fondly because it was their first Jackie Chan movie, being one of the few that got a stateside theatre release.
I forget the name of it, but there's one where he plays a Stock Car racer that I enjoyed seeing when I was young. I don't know how well it holds up to his other movies since I was young and, frankly, I don't remember if it was even subtitled or just in Chinese, but it was worth watching just for the car stunts they pulled off in addition to the normal Jackie Chan stunts, plus the ton of cars they totaled for said stunts.

And always, ALWAYS wait for the blooper reels after the movie.
That was Who Am I?
New Police Story doesn't have as much humor. It starts out awfully dark, and then Jackie is drunk and miserable for a while, and then Nicholas Tse turns up and things start moving along.
Pretty uneven, but there's a cool fight toward the end.
Jackie Chan's first movie, also. I think. It's pretty awful, but there's some decent fighting in there, and the dialog is too hilarious to miss.
Also, check out City Hunter if you can find it. Based on an anime of the same name, it's fucking hilarious (includes Jackie Chan dressed as Chun Li fighting a dude dressed as Ken while street fighter music plays).
YES. Plus Operation Condor.
Dragons Forever
Twin Dragons (funny)
City Hunter (heh funny)
Thunderbolt was the racing one, decent with the car stuff and fighting but not overly funny
The Myth (pretty decent, not as much funny but a nice overall movie)
Police Story 1 + 2 + 3
