Videos time baby.
Chuck in a few of your all time action scenes that REALLY get your blood pumping. Personally I LOVE the loud explosive kind that do WONDERS with a surround sound system with the volume on max, but yours may differ. Obvious mega spoilers within. And yep, likely to be nostalgia biased to the extreme.
Here's a few of mine:
Aliens - Turret scenes

Matrix - Lobby Scene:

There's that parkour scene by that parkour guy in that French movie that was only famous pretty much just for this scene (Ultimatum 2).

Edit: I particularly like the Cohen Bros style suspense scenes
Finale of Blood Simple

demagogue bringing the Blood Simple. It's been so long since I last watched it, but I remember particularly enjoying the ending scene. Also, Jason and the Argonauts has a special place burnt into my psyche.

Notice Stellan Skarsgard in that scene. That guy is EVERYWHERE, I swear. I rewatched The Hunt for Red October (it's better than I remembered), and he's the commander of the Soviet alfa class sub that's chasing them.

Loads of awesome scenes I could post if it wasn't just action. :p

And, just so that I don't get accused of only posting thrillers, I'll throw in Red Cliff:

If you ever go near this movie, don't bother with the butchered 150 minute western release. Go for the 5 full hours split into 2 parts.

The setup, the sound, the delivery... Perfect balance. Simply outstanding.

Here too, superb job building up and maintaining the tension throughout.

Cruise cold af in this one.
And he hasn't lost it, shows the same skill in the latest Mission Impossible. imho Collateral is Cruise's, Foxx's and Mann's best flick.

Aliens - Turret scenes
Ugh, no offense, but I think there's a reason these scenes were cut out of the theatric release. So boring. So many better scenes in Aliens, like:
Let's rock!
[video=youtube;q8qbfMXaego]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8qbfMXaego[/video]
Couldn't find a clip of Ripley's ensuing rescue with the APC, which is also awesome.
Ripley saves Newt (even the "(
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY2wGD6-j0Y&t=12s) gearing up" scene is classic):
[video=youtube;zPkMd2nLRzQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPkMd2nLRzQ&t=40s[/video]
The elevator escape is cool too (again, no clip found).
Last, an all-time classic - Get away from her, you bitch!
