I have no problem with expanding the list (it would allow much more blaxploitation classics to be put on here, sure RCMerchant would have many of those to add) but it is pretty chop socky heavy as it is right now.

If you're talking essentials you need some Jet Li in there:
46Last Hero in China, Jet Li in a low budget comedy follow up to Once Upon a Time in China. Some of its pretty funny he does some drunken fist, and in one scene dons a chicken suit.

I originally put Fist of Legend, considered to be on of Li's best but its not a B movie.

I think I'd be at #43.  For that, I suggest American Ninja.  It's awesome.

And at #42...  I'd say it is borderline as a B-movie, but hey.

She Shoots Straight.

Godenzi there is Sammo Hung's wife to the present day.  Somehow, her career never went anywhere.  I don't get it either.

41: Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001)
       aka Pacte des loups, Le  

I loved this film. It was a real surprise given that I never though of french as making good action films.  

This link is a great fight sequence from the film.
