Some of my favorites:

The rooftop chase in the original Italian Job.

The shootout in Face/Off taking place around Castor Troy's son while he listens to Somewhere Over the Rainbow on his headphones.

The Fifth Element: The entire sequence of events taking place on the cruise ship over Phlostan (sp?) Paradise once the Mangalores overtake the ship.

The final sequence between Deckard and Roy Batty in Blade Runner.


And the earlier mentioned titles are excellent suggestions as well, especially Heat and Hard Boiled.
