WHat is the BEST fight scene in a movie ever?

Enter The Dragon
Bruce Lee plus nunchucks against a troupe of angry Ninja goons. There can only be one winner, and breathtakingly so.
The Matrix
Surprised? You shouldn’t be really, given that this is the film that brought Wire-Fu to the mainstream market. Difficult to pinpoint which moment in the Wachowski’s classic is deserving more than any other, but Neo’s subway battle with Agent Smith probably just about clinches it, if only for Reeve’s superb choke manoeuvre.
The Bourne Identity - Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is a highly trained government agent who has lost his memory in a botched assassination attempt. One thing he doesn't forget, however, is how to serve up an ice cold can of whoop a$$! Take those two French cops in the park for instance, or how about those embassy guards? Yeah, the fighting is well worth watching, besides the fact that it's a great movie!
Mean Streets - This has definetly got to be on here. One of Scorsese's most underrated movies also has one of the most underrated fights of all time, mostly due to it's brute reality. I'm of course talking about the bar fight Harvey Keitel and Robert DeNiro get into with the bar owners while lone sharking. Some cops burst in, but the guys bribe them with some DENIRO (truly, truly sorry), they leave, and everybody settles down for a drink, still steaming, when Deniro smarts off again, gets sucker punched, and isn't even phased.
Heat. Some of you may have never heard of this movie, but others know why this is ranked above The Matrix. The scene where Robert DeNiro, Val Kilmer, and Al Pacino shoot out one the street is a masterpiece. This scene is why Heat is my all time favorite movie. Pacino (a cop) chases DeNiro and Kilmer (bank robbers) and their partner (I don't know his name) down a busy L.A. street, dueling with M16s and AK47s. They take cover behind cars, buildings, anything they can. The scene is pretty long (over 5 minutes of continuous shooting) and you can hear gunfire and screams echoing off the surrounding buildings. This movie may not be the most popular, but you owe it to yourself to see it.
Diggstown – OK, so this isn’t exactly Rocky but it is an undiscovered treasure worthy of your attention. Louis Gossett Jr. plays aging boxer, “Honey” Roy Palmer who has to fight 10 men in a single day thanks to his con-man friend James Woods trying to pull one over on unscrupulous town boss Bruce Dern. Now you could choose any one of those fights as entertaining, but without spoiling any of the film’s surprises for you – the last fight is THE one! There’s a reason that the few audiences that saw this film in the theater stood up and cheered.
They Live – John Carpenter accomplished exactly what he set out to do by placing a 7 ½ minute streetfight in the middle of a story about aliens using subliminal messages to rot our brains. The result is completely ridiculous, way over-the-top and one of the funniest, most incredible testosterone battles ever captured on celluloid. “PUT ON THE GLASSES!” is the anthem to this confrontation between Roddy (don’t call me “Rowdy”) Piper and Keith David. Gutpunches, face blows and wrestling moves all combine to create a sequence that both stops the film dead in its track and takes it to a whole new level of comedy and action, all in just 7 ½ minutes.
Happy Gilmore
Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler)
vs.
Bob Barker (himself)
Perhaps this isn't the most action packed fight scene in this article, but it definitely is the funniest.
With this fight, Barker avenges the frustrations not only himself, but also of anybody who had to sit through "Little Nicky" or "8 Crazy Nights". Almost, anyways.

Well since the op didn't mention fist fight only I guess gun play should be considered too. That is a toss up between heat and the most realistic gun fight I have ever seen in a movie is "The Way of the Gun" Man, that fight scene at the end was just so dang bad ass and realistic looking. You gotta see it if you like gun play.

It's a tough call between Matrix Reloaded and Episode 1 The Phantom Menace. Great Fight scenes in both!
