I liked the duel between Qui-gon, Obi wan and Darth Maul.
i'm sure i'm breaking some sort of Star wars cannon, but the light saber fights
in Phantom menace where better than the other 5 movies. with the exception
of Anikin vs. Obi wan was pretty damn good.
and i got to give a Big +1 to Dakkadan. that fight scene in 'They Live' was prettyawesome/funny!

No, as someone who died a little inside when the CGI dance mix was added to Return of the Jedi, I'm fine with that Lightsaber duel. It's a bright spot in a terrible movie.

Agreed. I also LOVE Darth Maul and think he could have gone toe to toe with Mace Windu
ERm... I meant to quote the above post with the light saber duel but whatever lol

Final Scene in "Way of the Dragon", Bruce Vs Chuck.
Spoiler:
Chuck loses.
Of all the races of the universe the Squats have the longest memories and the shortest tempers. They are uncouth, unpredictably violent, and frequently drunk. Overall, I'm glad they're on our side!
Office of Naval Intelligence Research discovers 3 out of 4 sailors make up 75% of U.S. Navy.
"Madness is like gravity... All you need is a little push."
Return of the Jedi - Vader vs Luke Skywalker, specifically the bit from where Vader goes "......Sisteeeeer!....". [2.42m on] I actually find the music to be quite moving in this, great score, great scene.
Just watched it again, Damn it always gets me. Not sure why Vader just sits down in the end?

The final fight in Flashpoint. As someone who has deals with street fights at my worklplace, it's a fairly realistic representation of what can happen. There's a fair mix of striking, but before you know it, both combatants are struggling on the ground, or in a clinch, grappling. The movie itself isn't all that good, but this was a very well choreographed and editted fighting sequence.
Before CGI, before slow motion chop sockie and a ballet of flowery combat moves, before the fighters 'learned' that you didn't have to take damage from most blows, before the environment of a fight turned from a hazard to a mere background effect; you had Sean Connery and Robert Shaw locked in a death struggle in a train carriage. Modern directors, this is how it is done, learn please:

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.
It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.
Ah, so many good scenes from movies I've seen.. the axe-fail of epicness from Reign of Fire will always stay with me, in fact I expected it to be brought up in this thread at one point or another. The From Russia With Love scene in the train was also very good.
Not going to watch any of the scenes from movies I haven't seen - no point spoiling them, eh?
