What would be your dream battle?

What would be an ideal battle for you to run. In other words what has been your favorite battle from a book or movie that you would LOVE to see your party perform? (assuming your party worked together as well as those in your favorite battle)? For me I think I'm going to go with the Final Fantasy VII Advent Children bahamut sin battle. The river scene from the hobbit comes a pretty close second. What about you?

Most of the battles I find engaging are historical in nature. One that I think would make for an interesting D&D scenario is King John's siege of Rochester Castle during the First Barons' War. (It was depicted in the movie Ironside (passably enjoyable, though historically inaccurate).)
 

Volcano battles are always fun. My wife ran a Pathfinder battle with a dragon at the edge of a volcano that was pretty spectacular.

As for movie/game/tv references and what not, battles atop movie objects are always fun. Train-top battles from various movies, the semi-battle from The Matrix: Reloaded, stuff like that.
 

Taking a clue from FF7:AC, the battle with Sephiroth always struck me as something awesome to run. Or to at least run something where the combatants are falling into a deep (bottomless?) ravine with large pieces of debris falling all around them. Stuff they can use as platforms, weapons, cover, whatever.
