Okami had some very unusual boss fights. While going through the story there were no boss fights that repeated anything from the last ones. However it must be said that it does lose points for the boss fights at the end when you need to fight the bosses a second time to get to the final boss.
Persona 3.
Oh, and the Metal Gear series.
'Specially The Pain.
Making a Tommy Gun out of BEES?
Goddamn that's all kinds of awesome.
Plans for the New Year?
NOPE, SPEND THE MONTH TRAINING SO YOU CAN GO FIGHT THE AVATAR OF NYX, DESPITE BEING TOLD IT WAS UNWINNABLE.

I mean, it's not like you had anything better to do, right?

The Binding of Isaac has some truly fun boss battles. I think that's one of the games I own that actually has boss battles, besides Serious Sam, which had EPIC boss battles, at least the Encounters did. Cthulhu Saves the World had really good ones too.
Kingdom Hearts 2.
I pretty much forced my way through the game, but the battles against the Organization were so much fun I left save points just before each encounter.

Really guys? No Monster Hunter love in here? You start off in a fairly slow game until you hit the first actual monster and from then on out it's bosses galore, tough but you can get through, the second is harder but hey it's not THAT tough maybe one or two tries, third boss, SWEET JESUS THIS IS HARD ON MY OWN.
Tales of Symphonia? Fuck yeah. I can feel that.
Dark Souls has some damn impressive and fun (if infuriating) ones.
Megaman. That's a given.
Some of Dragon Age's are great. The Archdemon is a BLAST to fight, and so is the Ancient Rock Wraith from DA2.
But, to me, nothing beats Chrono Trigger. Especially this fight:
Starts about 1:30 in.

The skyrim boss battle with Alduin. Seriously, you fight a dragon that wants to eat the world, teamed up with four warriors from what is essentially Valhalla, and they can all shout, plus at the end you get a shout that can summon warrior spirits from Savangarde (Valhalla) to fight on your side in whatever dungeons or against whatever big creatures you come across next in skyrim.
Most of the colossi in Shadow of the Colossus are good, the 15th colossus can fuck right off though.
The Orochi battles in Okami, while slightly tedious, get a mention for death by inebriation and the crowning-moment-of-awesome finishing move in the first one.
Chronos in God of War III, while less of a boss battle and more of a walking, talking level, is brilliant.
While the archdemon from Dragon Age: Origins is really boring and frustrating, as you get close to the doors keading to the fight all you can do is take one last look at your team, who've stuck with you through thick and thin and think "well, this is it" as you save for the final time and open the doors, knowing the inevitability of whatever fate awaits you on the other side. Never have i experienced anything like that with another boss battle.
