I don't really have a Top 5, but, lately, this is a scene I love. Especially the classic style, bringing in new elements, and the good orchestration, it does not use the "fog of war" feel, which other scenes above very well re-create.

 
Band of Brothers - Battle of Brecourt Manor

Men of the U.S. 101st Airborne take down an artillery battery.



I remember reading in the book that this action became part of U.S. Army training on how to take down an objective. It became textbook.
 
I haven't seen that one before. Is that where terrorists take over the New York Stock Exchange or something? ;)

Yeah! Michael Douglas even has a cameo in it as Gordon Gekko where he shoots up half a board of directors! Crazy ass film.
