Best fight scene?

[John Q. Mayhem]

Inigo vs. Westley in Princess Bride; the fight in the dojo in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Meier Link's fights against D, Tommy Lee Jones' knife-fight with Benicio del Toro in the end of Hunted, and probably some others I can't think of right now.

EDIT:

Oh, and as for funniest: Danny Kaye vs. Basil Rathbone in The Court Jester.

Yes! I haven't seen that movie about forever, that scene was awesome!

I saw one just last night I was very impressed with... there is a scene in the middle of the first Bourne movie..Bourne Identity.... when they get back to his apartment and that guy with the SMG busts in through the window. Once they get to the HtH, I think that fight has some awesome energy. Two men clearly intent on killing each other and nothing is going to stop them.

The final fight scene in Enter the Dragon With Bruce Lee. Can't beat the mirrored room.

 

[Nuclear Platypus]

A few from Deadly China Hero aka Last Hero in China with Jet Li as Wong Fei Hong.

Wong Fei Hong's apprentices vs the High Priest
Wong Fei Hong vs the High Priest
Centipede Fu (Gordon Liu and bad guys) vs Chicken Fu (Jet Li)
Final fight between Gordon Liu and Jet Li

From Kiss of the Dragon:
Jet Li vs the martial arts class
Final fight between the twins and Jet Li (in the cubefarm)

Oh and 3 gunfights from Hard Boiled
the tearoom shootout
the chopshop shootout
the hospital shootout (my fave)

 

[Berandor]

Drunken Master 2/Legend of Drunken Master, the fight in the tea-house against the axe gang.

The lobby scene from the Matrix.

Crazy 88's from Kill Bill.

...clearly I like the 'outnumbered heros against a horde of mooks' scenes.

Oh, and as for funniest: Danny Kaye vs. Basil Rathbone in The Court Jester.

"And now, I will kill you like *snap*"

Great, great movie!

I'm fond of the fight between John Cusack and Benny the Jet in Grosse Pointe Blank.

The gun-fu duel in Wesley Snipes' Art of War.

And, of course, the gunfight between Blondie, Angel Eyes, and Tuco at the end of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly...

• Any fight from Kill Bill 1, but especially the Bride vs Yoko and the Bride vs O-Ren
• Any fight from Kill Bill v2, but espeically the fight with Elle in the trailer and the fight with Bill at the end.
• The final fight from Legend of Drunken Master
• Nameless vs Sky in Hero
• The final fight from Iron Monkey

And just for fun: the "Girlfriends make good weapons" fight from Romeo Must Die.

Best fights off the top of my head

Well... the one that I've always loved has been the final fight in Rob Roy between Liam Neeson and Tim Roth. It's always been an inspiration for me when I think of sword-fighting in D&D, especially when there are always so many disparate styles in the game-world.

Any fight-scene from the Bourne Identity/Supremacy. That one scene involving a pen in the first movie was great, especially Franka Potente's subsequent reaction.

The final fight scene at the end of the Fellowship of the Ring is always great, not just Aragorn and Lurtz, but also Boromir's fall and of course the very beginning when Aragorn starts with the bad ass salute...

Can't think of any others at the moment. Most of the fight scenes from movies like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hero, The Matrix (let us never speak of the trilogy), and others are all excellent eye-candy and visual-choreography, but they've never drawn me in so viscerally as the fight scenes I've mentioned above.

I have seen a lot of cool fight scenes, and a lot of the good ones were already mentioned.
One of my favorites was in X2 in the beginning with nightcrawler. It was so perfectly done.

For my money, the funniest fight on film involves a sword-wielding villain and Indiana Jones.
