Top 10 special fight scenes in movies

It's damn hard to rank movie fight scenes in a definitive way. Truth is, their effectiveness depends entirely on the viewer's visceral reaction, on how well the fight produces that feeling of "holy shit, what's next?" 
Some are closer to mind-blowing acts of athleticism, where you're just impressed the actors got through it all alive, pulling off what amounts to an epic, bloody dance scene. Others have an element of feral violence that imitates what you might feel watching a real fight; that fear that someone's going off in a fatal way, that death is definitely on the table. 

So yeah, every single list like this will be different. For this definitive ranking, I opted to go for the combo of great fight choreography and violence that feels just a little too real—as well as the scenes that fall in between, like some of the best moments in the Bourne films. So there are no giant monster battles (unless The Rock and Vin Diesel count), just somewhat real characters getting hurt for our entertainment.
