5. "The Human Spider" (Spider-Man)
http://youtu.be/-E0oiKjLzTc Not necessarily the wrestling scene itself (though it does have its moments), but just the introduction of Spider-Man for the first time. It's such a fantastic, hilarious moment. The screen goes up, the lights flash on, and we're shown an awfully makeshift Spider-Man demo outfit, with a Peter Parker who doesn't miss a beat to fix his identity. The comedic timing for when he turns around to the stagehands and says, "My name's 'The Human Spider,'" is so spot-on, it comes off as possibly the nerdiest thing in the entire film. Combine that with an over-zealous Bruce Campbell, and you get a scene that practically screams "Sam Raimi."

You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
