3. Home Improvement - Iron Man 3
Though Iron Man 3 ended up proving rather disappointing due to the dubious plot twist revolving around The Mandarin, the iconic set-piece that saw Tony Stark's Malibu property be blown to smithereens was unquestionably excellent. Though featured prominently in both trailers and posters for the movie, the full scene is something truly brilliant to behold; the Mandarin's gunships promptly destroy Iron Man's base with extraordinary efficiency, and Shane Black directs the scene with plenty of visual splendour. It's a great scene that is a reflection of Stark's personality; he got cocky and baited The Mandarin, publically calling him out, and totally paid the price for it. This sets Stark off on the path of revenge and self-discovery that essentially defines the movie.
