Metroid Prime 1 & 2. The Emperor Ing in the second one was awesome. Damn hard as well... In the first one, the Omega Pirate was crazy and of course the Metroid Prime was awesome.
The World Ends with You had some pretty cool battles, most of which really took advantage of the DS capabilities.
I think Batman: Arkham City did a really good job by giving its boss battles some unique mechanics that made them pretty cool.
Shadow of the Colossus of course, although in particular the metroid prime games (mostly 1 & 2). I loved all of those fights. Off the top of my head; Thardus, Meta Ridley, and Quadraxis were really fun. Plus the music makes those battles even better. The God of War series also comes to mind.
Glad someone mentioned The World Ends With You those bosses could be straight up difficult if you didn't get good sync with the top screen character.
And Having actually beat MGS3 for the first time last night I could say all those bosses were freaking fantastic especially The End

The boss fight against the queen in Ico, sure it was easy once you figured her out, but I still love that moment.
The Resident Evil Boss fights. William Birkin from 2, Nemesis from 3, Mr X from 2 and U3 in 4 just to name a few.
Pokemon Cynthia. Lance, the entire Sinnoh Elite Four and of course Red himself.
God of War. The Hydra boss fight at the start of the first one was a great way to open up the game.
Devil May Cry Virgil was my favourite in this series.
I know there's more but that's all I can think of at the moment.

Devil May Cry 4 has some really nice bossbattles - esspecially with Nero which has the fatality (the demonic arm) makes some really nice and cinematic scenes.
Half-life 1 mostly has good bossbattles except the last.
Prince of Persia The Two Thrones has really good ones.
Prototype last bossbattle was godlike for me... it was such a close defeat.
Max Payne 2's was legendary.
Portal has Half-lifey bb (which are unorthodoxly good)
Psychonauts bossbattles were mostly good except the last.
Metal Slug (on PS1) was epic.
American McGgee?s Alice
Chtulu saves the World loved the bossbattles (were mostly playing the game for them and the humour)
etc.

Metal Gear Solid 3, especially, The Fear, The End, and towering above all, The Ladder.
Resident Evil 4 had several - including trolls, lake monsters, and slimy tentacle freaks, but the final boss was similarly a letdown.
Seymour, Yunalesca, the Sky Guardian... all of them presented a great challenge which kept me on edge throughout the game. Just a shame that the final boss was a cakewalk in more ways than one.

A lot of planning and preparation, though.ksn0va said:
To face the Wall of Flesh Solo, you'll just about want to make wooden platforms across the underworld, flood the underworld even though it evaporates, just so a layer will of lava will turn to Obsidian and not be a danger to you. Get a pair of Rocket boots and Cloud in a Bottle, invest in buying a Minishark, invest in turning a Minishark into a Star Cannon, a Demon Scythe spellbook, hundreds of ammunition for your Minishark or Star Cannon(or hopefully both), all the hellforge items(that includes a boomerang), loads of restoration potions, max health and mp, an ironskin potion, a magic potion, and an Obsidian Skin potion, just in case you didn't build enough bridge.
And it's STILL possible to die. Especially if you don't manage to multitasking keeping both your HP up and keeping distance from the Wall of Flesh at the same time. (You get cornered, you get lots of damage, it's best to keep no pillars hung up high in the sky. Take those Obsidian bricks and add them to your home, and take those hellforges and put them in your home once you get the Molten Hamaxe. You don't have to worry about them being melted in the lava if you make a mistake, and you don't have to worry about those towers jutting into the sky getting in your way)
And all of this preparation takes loads of hours to accomplish.
Personally, I recommend a sandgun. Because sand is the easiest ammunition to get a hold of. But that costs a lot of money to make. If one actually cares to earn it, the quickest way I've found is to face loads and loads of earth eaters and sell their remains. About 20 worm foods should be plenty prepared to have a boss rush and afford the illegal gun parts.
I'm going to go with what pretty much everyone else is saying and will say and the Metal Gear Solid series with The End probably just about being the best.
Another particular favourite is the last fight in MGS4 against Liquid.

I can't believe I nearly forgot about The Ladder. Man, that was one battle of attrition.MammothBlade said:

That video (and hiimdaisy's P4 work) was actually what first got me interested in the Persona series.
Gotta love that Ryoji.

TOO BAD! The world ends in 2 months anyway!"
Multiplayer... there can be no doubt that WoW had some pretty awesome boss fights. Nefarian, Four Horsemen, Archimonde, and Kil'Jaeden were pretty yummy. Alas, everything in Wrath and beyond just... didn't do it for me. Probably because they were usually really easy, or just re-used old mechanics. x_x
I also liked the bosses in FFX, which was probably the last "proper" game I played with bosses. That tripe in Human Revolution doesn't count.

Skyrims dragon fights are always hairy, that's because I refuse to sit in cover for now than 2 breath attacks
