Default Favorite Action Scene

So I did a search and didn't notice this over the first couple pages in the search function and figured I start a thread. I just watched The International over the weekend and I was absolutely blown away by the scene in the museum where they were being chased down the spiral ramp. Between the bullets and the glass shattering, I felt like I did when I watched Predator as a kid for the first time. Just a great action scene that fit into a great movie as well. This will definitely be my new top choice scene to show off what audio can sound like with lossless on a Blu-Ray. What do you guys think? Favorite action scene and the movie it's from.

1. Heat--the final bank robbery that spills into the street. gunfight is untouchable in the action scene department.
2. Braveheart -- battle sequences
3. Saving Private Ryan--the opening sequence storming the beach still twists my stomach.
4. Knowing -- plane crash

The entirety of the movie "Ong Bak"

You guys can take all the special FX and CGI all you want, but Tony Jaa's $#!+ is real.

All great stuff so far. Keep em coming. Some of my other favorites:
Matrix: Revolution - final fight with agent Smith in the rain
Gone in 60 Seconds - Cage trying to get "Eleanor" in on time
Quantum of Solace - just about every action scene is good
Equilibrium - opening action scene into the dark room & final attack in the building at the end (by the way, anyone ever heard if this is coming to Blu-Ray?)
