Great films. Unfortunately the main actor is a rascist *******.

Love 'One Armed Boxer', the self-inflating Shaolin monks are hilarious!

Most of the movies mentioned in this topic are undoubted classics. But we are looking at a kung fu movie as a whole, not just for their fighting scenes. And to be honest, there are only three movies that come to mind when I think about "best kung fu movie ever."
Enter The Dragon
+
The one and only. Not only did it introduce Bruce Lee to the western audience as a movie star, but it also branched the east and the west, with a collaboration of movie companies, something never ever seen previous. The story was pretty nice too. But the main reason why it was such a success is because it showcased Bruce Lee's martial prowess on celluloid. The west weren't really ready for it, and neither was the east, as both ended up going in their respective directions after his death in 1972-73. This was an historical film, and thus deserves the recognition it gets.
Once Upon A Time In China
+
This was the movie that gave Jet Li his big break in Hong Kong cinemas. Not only was it a marvel in kung fu and cinematography, it was also a movie that could stand on its own, even without the martial arts. As Bey Logan says in his audio commentary... "If you took out the kung fu in most of the movies prior, I would agree that there would be nothing left." This is not the case with Once Upon A Time In China. That is not to say the martial arts isn't good, actually it is great. It was a great balance between real and hokey, just slightly pushing the boundaries of realism. The story was also great. Everybody gets their spotlight, and the overall pace is great.
Ip Man

This film may be a recent one, but this movie is a complete masterpiece. Although it may not necessarily be historically correct, its roots are in the right place. The story is very good, albeit a bit cliche. The fighting though is where it really shines. Donnie Yen really showcases the power, speed, and skill of Ip Man's fighting style Wing Chun, and during he first 10 minutes of the movie you will be blown away. A great movie.
Honorable mentions: Legend Of Drunken Master, Ong Bak, Big Trouble In Little China (?), Huang Fei-hong zhuan: Bian feng mie zhu (the very first Wong Fei Hung movie)
My best kung-Fu Movies of all time is Drunken Master of Jacki Chain
