Martial Arts, Magic and Feelings
Series, films and shorts (mostly centered around martial arts) with amazing cinematography that fully immerse you to a different world and WILL make you feel something.
(That doesn't mean the plot is good. In fact I absolutely hated some of these stories but that doesn't take away how aboslutely stunning the production is and how the actors did manage to get a reaction out of me.)
