Inception's gravity screw hallway fight was pretty cool.
I'm also a fan of Fight Club's visceral, brutal fight scenes.
The Wrestler also had some really great 'fight scenes,' if you could call them that.
But most of all, I'd have to say that my favourite fight scene would have to be something from Hero. I tend to hate martial arts movies, or anything with excessivly over-the-top choreography (except for Equilibrium... but that's because it's awesome. And because Christian Bale's in it...), but Hero takes a fight scene and turns it into cinematic brilliance.
Reign of Fire - That movie and U571 is why I feel like Matt Mcconaughey sqaunders his talent as an actor on crappy chick flicks. He was a badass in both those movies..... oh well
Hero - hell yes. I love that movie. The fight with SilverSpear is just the tits

I have always liked the fight scene in Borne Supremacy with the rolled up magazine.
There have actually been some fight scenes with Bruce Willis as well. I can't remember the movie, but I remember him bashing some guys head/face in with an old rotary dial phone. They are overly choreographed, but seem pretty authentic.
Jackie Chan has always been entertaining for me to watch, too.
And then there is the big battle scenes when the heroes are outnumbered, but fight the good fight anyway. Always brings a tear to my eye.

space wolves, orks, eldar
any fight scene with Donnie Yen in it is pretty awesome plus most of the fight scenes in The Matrix are great too. Though my favorite one these days has been the the rotating hallway fight scene in "Inception" mostly for the concept not so much the fight itself. It's an amazing piece of cinematography and creative ingenuity:
easily the fight scene in the second matrix after they get the key-maker when neo fights all those old programs or whatever...so fething epic, I just watched it last night

That is epic.
I liked this one:
-"Wait a minute.....who is that Frazz is talking to in the gallery? Hmmm something is going on here.....Oh.... it seems there is some dispute over video taping of some sort......Frazz is really upset now..........wait a minute......whats he go there.......is it? Can it be?....Frazz has just unleashed his hidden weiner dog from his mini bag, while quoting shakespeares "Let slip the dogs the war!!" GG

DARN YOU! That is an excellent fight scene, one of my secret weapons in discussions of this nature. I LOVE the moment when he takes off his georgian hairpiece and reveals this real crude, brutal, crew cut.
One of the best fight scenes i've seen in the last couple years was in Inception, it is near the end when tom Hardy's (Eames?) character is having a one on one with some henchmen, rewatch it to see what i mean.

Hmmm Of course it does depend on what kind of fight scene we are talking about...
Domestic Dispute: Jolie vs Pitt in "Mr and Mrs Smith"
close second: The end scene in "War of the Roses"
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!

That Rob Roy fight was good - very quiet, tense and realistic.
Another mission, the powers have called me away. Another chance to carry the colours again. My motivation, an oath I've sworn to defend. To win the honour of coming back home again.
The same here. My interest in Naruto died about a hundred episodes into shippuden, but I will always like the fight scene with Lee and Garra. When he takes those weights off...damn!!!!!
