Hero looks so pretty, but I don't like it's political over-tones. House Of Flying Daggers is also a stunning movie to look at, and not just because of ol' Zhang Ziyi. However, I will always hold Crouching Tiger closest to my heart; it's a perfect movie.

Nothing of him that doth fade
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
I voted Hero merely for the fact that there is far more content in the movie itself and you made me choose
I love all three movies though...Zhang Ziyi and the rest of the casts are truly amazing

For me Hero tops the rest. The love story was separated from the main storyline. The sword fighting was also a lot more impressive. Plus the look of Hero was more appealing and artistic than the other two. House was just damn colorful.
I'd actually put Iron monkey above Crouching Tiger for myself... and Hero as Number 1... but still... all three are very good movies.
