The Matrix (1999)



None of the actors in The Matrix were martial artists and, as a result, the kung-fu fighting (choreography by Hong Kong legend Yuen Woo Ping) was just so-so in my opinion, but the Wachowski brothers deserve the fame (and Academy Awards) they received for bringing their hyperstylized gun fights and bullet time to cinema.

It's been almost a decade since this movie came out, but I still love this scene in the lobby of the government building where the Agents are holding Morpheus ...
