Three Days In The Valley – the catfight.
Chupacabra Terror: Dark Seas: the scene where the captains’ daughter is tied up as bait for the chupacabra and apparently believes the only way to free herself is by waggling her massive breasts. Yes, I know, all wrong. But so right!
Supergator: The opening sequence where the obnoxious photographer convinces his two models how safe it is to swim out to the rocks.
Blade Runner: great movie overall, but the scene where Roy Batty chases Decker down is classic.
Game of Thrones, the Red Wedding scene. “The Lannisters sends their regards.”

One of my all time favorite action scenes.
I’ll ad the three way lightsaber fight in The Phantom Menace.

Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones: The confrontation with Count Dooku, starting with Annakin getting force lightninged, and then going through Yoda going nuts with a light sabre. Didn’t make it a good movie, sadly, but it’s still a fantastic sequence.
Return of the Jedi: The climactic space battle and climactic Luke/Vader/Emperor confrontation (just ignore that there’s an ewok battle going on at the same time).
Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey: The final performance and credits
Wayne’s World: Umm… Errr… No, it’s too painful, I can’t choose just one.
