wasn't that model work? the hospital explosion in 'Dark Knight' was pretty impressive since it all was in-camera.
bridge explosion - 'The Long Kiss Goodnight' [on the DTS laserdisc, the explosion rips like a mutha]

Bridge blast in Duck You Sucker.
Clint said that Leone used "Hundreds of pounds" of dynamite to blow up the bridge in Good/Bad/Ugly. Well, I'm guessing that a THOUSAND pounds of dynamte was used to blow up the bridge in DYS. The schockwave that's caught on camera is proof of that.

Yes, we should eliminate any CGI or model work from this thread...
The building explosion at the opening of Lethal Weapon 3 is pretty sweet.
But the bridge in BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI has to take the cake - it's a classic.

Apocalypse Now - The opening and air cavalry raid.
Band of Brothers - Bastogne and Breaking Point; excellent studio production (set, CGI and etc)
Casino - Cool subjective shot of being inside an explosion.
Children of Men - The Coffee shop.
Clear and Present Danger - Black operation + jungle + guns + explosions = awesome.
Cold Mountain - I can't remember how impressive it was but it made enough impression on me.
Come and See - Spectacular!
Flags of Our Fathers - The bombarment combined by navy and air force.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail - Tim. It's simple but fun and effective.
Munich - The hotel bombing; aftermath was the best part.
Rambo - Best explosions.
The Thin Red Line - The first bombarment (full-bit DTS).
We Were Soldiers - There's a lot.

Even though I knew it was coming it was still made me jump. The audio dynamics are great!
Saving Private Ryan - The tank to building hit near the end of the film that knocks Hanks off his feet. Wows me every time I see it.
But just about nothing beats the real deal as in Trinity and Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie. The testing stages are staggering.

My all time favorite would have to be Jabba's Barge in Return of the Jedi.

oh but that was sooo fake - explosions don't look like that in outer space [that looks like the Special Edition 'explosion']

there are plenty, but my favorite explosion shot:
Bad Boys (1995) - when the hangar explodes, and the car is coming into the foreground, looks absolutely awesome.

I'm partial to the explosion on the cruise ship in "The Fifth Element".
The funniest would have to be Stewie and Brian blowing up that house in "Family Guy".

How about the end of 'Big Trouble in Little China' where one of the trio of bad dudes head explodes, and it looks like they just tossed a bunch of cabbage or lettuce to show the 'innards' of his head.
