Lady General Hua Mulan (Hua Mu Lan ) (1964)

Many screen adaptations have been made about Hua Mu-Lan, the brave woman who disguised herself as a man to take her aged father's place in the army and rose to become a great general. Few versions, however, can boast to have as stellar a cast and performance as this version by veteran director Yueh Feng. Music, drama, and action all roll into one to make this movie a timeless favorite.
