The spy who loved me.

Bond being chased down a mountain on skis.  being shot at.  in and out of cravasses, over ridges etc.

he is coming up to a cliff.  no where to go but off.

boom.  off the cliff.  free falling. 
clink. off come the skis
wham.  parachute opens with the union jack flag painted on it.
ding duh ding ding duh ding.  bond theme kicks in.

Cliifhanger is awfully nerve racking for the fist 5 mins when that chick slips outta Sly's grip and falls, I was on the edge of my seat for that one and everytime I watch it again it is just as scary.

The opening to Blade was pretty good.....or was it Blade 2?  The scene in the club when all hell breaks out.

Top of my head the movie "Cliffhanger" with Sly Stallone was seriously intense.
