48 Hours stands out, as do Zulu and Reservoir Dogs - ENJOY!
Nick Nolte as Cates, Eddie Murphy as Reggie Hammond, and James Remar as the evil Ganz.
In the uncut final action scene, after the fed-up Cates wounds Ganz (who had been holding Cates' own .44 Mag to hostage Hammond's head) in the shoulder with a borrowed 1911, he empties the rest of the mag into Ganz (who cocks his revolver twice) who seems less than interested in surrendering. The obviously necessary and righteous, repeated, shooting is almost always cut out of broadcasts of the movie and so when Hammond is next standing there in shock and awe you really have no idea why...

There's the final battle scene of the beleagured Welsh regiment left to defend the supply line of Chelmsford's army at Rork's Drift during the Zulu War. Tenacity, superior firepower, honor and luck rule the day. It is inspiring to a man but reminds us that, as R.E. Lee said (though he was actually speaking favorably about slaughtering so many men), it is good war is so terrible else we should grow too fond of it.

Though the Mexcian Standoff at the end is the stuff of popular culture, nor will the tune "Stuck In The Middle With You" ever be the same, there's the scene in Reservoir Dogs where Mr. White, a complex character played by the great Harvey Keitel, who isn't going back to jail "tags some cops but no real people"...

These are my three favorite movies...
