Got to be
The Killer - directed by John woo.

Pre hollywood stuff, this is story of true honour. Trained assassin accidentally blinds woman whilst on job, takes to caring for her as hong kong cop tracks him down. End sequence is awesome in its irony. And the shoot out in the church showed exactly what John Woo was about.

Hard Boiled - another john woo, more action and opening scene has most deaths of any opening scene in movies (maybe overtaken by saving private ryan these days). Around 250.
Hard boiled is about a cop whom is becoming more and more into his job of investigating/shooting triads and yakuza gang wars in hong kong.

And for pure fun - the Princess Bride. Amazing.
