Spaghetti and meatballs. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, 2000, directed by Ang Lee, starring Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi, and Chang Chen. This is the first time I've watched it since Donna and I saw it at Pipers Alley Theatre on March 23, 2001. Powerful fight scenes, particularly the ones with Michelle Yeoh. And the fight in the canopy of the bamboo forest quite fanciful.
