I nominated:

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. I just bought the first four seasons on DVD and have fallen in love with the Banks family all over again, but there's no fic despite how well-known the show is.

So Close. This one's a Hong Kong espionage/martials arts film starring Shu Qi, Zhao Wei and Karen Mok as two sisters who work together as professional assassins (Shu Qi and Zhao Wei) who get into a cat-and-mouse game with Karen Mok, a police officer. There's so much backstory to explore between the sisters, how they grew up and decided to do what they do. Other than that there's also delicious chemistry between Zhao Wei and Karen Mok, the later of which who's determined to hunt the sisters down, only things aren't quite as black and white as she thinks they are.

I was going to nominate Big Trouble in Little China, but I saw someone else has done it already. It's an action-adventure/fantasy/comedy film directed by John Carpenter and set in San Francisco Chinatown. Two of the main characters are white, but just about everyone else in the cast is either Asian-American or mainland-China Chinese -- and their stories are begging to be explored.
