My favorite bosses are from FF7. Wep's and seph of course. i remeber freaking out at the end of the game when clouds like 'he's in my head and he's laughing' something to that nature...

The Metal Gear Solid bosses are great, because not only is the combat interesting, but then there's usually some sad back story that will make you Crying

right after murdering them.

Thoughts:
Liquid Snake - Brute force fighting. Two shirtless men punching each other like a Van Damme film. Manly.
Revolver Ocelot - Fun, although super easy on the GameCube. Plus, the guy doesn't shut up!
Sniper Wolf - Very Fun, especially with rockets. Poor Otacon.
Psycho Mantis - Super insane!
Vulcan Raven - The tank's kind of annoying, but the railgun teaches you fear! Twisted Evil

Hind D - Man vs. machine.
Solidus Snake - Swords, but annoying. Takes far too long to kill this guy.
Vamp - Annoying until you get the pattern down.
Fatman - Ranges from annoying to a great time killer.
Fortune - A boss that can't be defeated!!
Olga Gurlukovich - A whatever kind of fight, but playing MGS2 again recently made me realize those random cinema breaks during the battle foreshadow her latter affection for Sunny. Irony!
Harrier II - Just like the Hind D, but on speed.
The Boss - Wildly fun.
The End - LEGENDARY!!!!
The Fear - I hate fighting this guy. Even with thermals.
The Fury - Like fighting Vulcan, but I like the guy. Plus, he was pretty much the only Cobra with a back story.
The Pain - WTF? Bees? Sometimes MGS can be weird.
The Sorrow - A boss where you're supposed to die!
Colonel Volgin - The best part about fighting him is putting on the Raikov outfit.
Young Ocelot - Ocelot is rarely a challenging boss.

The Ouroboros from the first level of Strider is the coolest damn boss ever. Who would be inclined to disagree?

Damn robot snake communists from outer space... wait, we're talking about the Strider arcade game right?

Surprised no one mentioned Dracula from Castlevania, every time you walk up the stairs, enter his tower and go down that hallway, an awesome fight awaits. The moment when Simon's theme plays as Dracula starts going apeshit in Super Castlevania 4 is just epic.

Bowser. Hes big and scary looking, and always has some retarded stratagy that allows you to win easily, I think deep down inside he likes to lose.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Wart from SMBII (the Doki-Doki ripoff) was a damn cool boss. Also worth mentioning:
Bowser (Duh)
Ganon/Gannondorf
Magnius (minor boss in Tales of Symphonia, I always thought he was awesome)
Rugal, from KoF
Motaro
That one pig-centaur from Gex 64

I'll think of more later.

Gilgamesh from FFV, almost purely because of his music. Ditto for both Dhaos and the Spirits from Tales of Phantasia.

(Yes, I was gone for at least a year. Why do you ask?)

I happen to like Kholdstare from Zelda Link to the Past, sure he is easy as hell but he has a cool name. Some other good ones are:

Super Shredder from TMNT IV
Ruby Weapon from FFVII
Sigma from Mega Man X
Kitten throwing Cat from Monster Party
Dark Akuma in Marvel VS Capcom
Abobo from Double Dragon

you mean cyber akuma?

apocalypse was a rad boss from that series, now that I think about it. at the time I don't think anyone had ever seen anything quite like him in a fighting game.

he was later trumped one hundred percent by onslaught though, who was the ultimate badass. probably one of my favorite bosses of all time.
