Ong Bak and Warrior King.
Warrior king (Thai name "Tom Yum Goong") was released uncut and with full subtitles, it was heavily cut and released as "The Protector" in the US, and had some subtitles altered to take out references to one of the characters being a transsexual.
Both are absolutely storming films, the fight scenes are relentlessly amazing. They show the abosolute pinnacle of Muay Thai technique, including a lot of Muay Boran techniques that were used on the battlefield, really spectacular stuff.
Tony Jaa > other martial arts movie guys, at least in terms of gymnastic ability, and knowledge of true lethal techniques. Ong Bak contains a lot of the lethal Muay Thai techniques that are illegal in the ring, and Warrior King contains a lot of Muay Kodchasarn, or "Elephant Boxing", where Jaa used his arms like an elephants trunk, to twist and break limbs, as an elephant does when its attacking people.
But hey, from MMA Playgrounds Thai boxing fanatic, did you expect anything less

Super Ninjas is bad ass
All Bruce Lee movies are great my fav is Chineese Connection that whole seen when he is fighting that westler dude (when his arms were moving all crazy) plus when he goes over and kick all the Japaneese guys asses oh yeah when he jumps up and kicks that sign then flies higher and breaks it man that was Bruce Lee at his best it was classic
Ong Bok had its moments didn't like the whole chase seen it was good but went on way too long

Marked for Death - Some of Segal's best on-screen aikido IMO
Only the Strong - capoeira baby
On Deadly Ground (but more for the message and not the martial arts)

As far as "serious" films go, Enter The Dragon. I really like all of Bruce Lee's films, but Enter The Dragon always had me the most into it for some reason, maybe because it was the first Lee film I ever saw.
As far as "not-so-serious" films go, Kung Fu Hustle. Not only extremely hilarious but the special effects and fight scenes were awesome. I especially like the fight scene with the guys playing that giant violin-like thing and using it as a weapon, I just thought that was incredible.
