The Matrix, the building lobby and roof. But the end didn't stick out very much. (the very end)
The Batmobile Chase in Batman Begins The Fight on the clock tower/train/ everywhere else in the city basically in Spiderman 2 was pretty action packed.

James Cameron's best work is hard to top in terms of action.
But these days, in attempts to create more instant "exhiliration", many directors and editors are using horrible MTV style flash and gimmickry to leave the viewer stunned, but zombie-like in appreciation. I don't know what we just witnessed, but I'm sure it looked good! Fight sequences for example: a series of tiny quickfire edits (was that a foot? look there goes a fist! ooo see that!?) soundtracked with the most crisp bone-crunching FX they could come up with are supposed to satisfy us. And they do, obviously, because more and more films are being made this way - box office receipts ensure it. Big action scenes now resemble computer games because of digital technology. I haven't had the pleasure of Transporter 2, but a glimpse of the trailer reveals so much hokey CGI at work it now seems anything is possible. The world ends when anything is possible.

you're completely right ... this is why i tried to avoid fight scenes unless they were actually 'action scenes' not just a series of quick edits and sound effects that could make my overweight aged mother look like a black belt on film. sadly enough .. Luc Besson is championing this .. they said his Femme Nikita was 'the death of french film' looks like he's trying to kill the action film in general. Transporter 2 ... not for one second was i convinced that anyone in the film could fight - or was fighting. The cameraman and the editor were the only ones truely duking it out. which again - is why i really like the fight in grosse point blank ... and as mentioned above - the brawl in They Live ... both were shot at a distance .. not these tight manipulative shots.

Although Cliffhanger was a so-so movie, I like the beginning where the girl falls. It was very tense from what I remember...but it has been years since I saw it so if I saw it now I might think it sucks.
Kinda of like the Speed Racer cartoon...I remember thinking this was a great show as a kid but then saw it years later and thought; wow, this sucks. Sigh...some things are better as memories...

i dont think of it as an action sequence but the opening of cliffhanger was incredibly tense ... it still holds up too but the rest of the film is nothing more than a 'dime a dozen' big name star action vehicle. someone at the time said the 1st 5 minutes of that film was one of the years best movies .. the rest of the film was one of the worst.

I actually enjoyed the fight between Inigo and Wesley in the Princess Bride. The way Inigo waited for him and then they kind of had a civil discussion while trying to best each other. Not "action packed" I suppose but I still found it to be a decent action sequence.
