I recently watched "Predator" on bluray and I think I'm convinced more than ever now that the final confrontation/duel between Arnold and the Predator is the greatest human vs alien duel I've ever seen. What are some other good examples?

Some others that came to my mind,

Ripley vs. queen alien in Aliens
Danny Glover vs Predator
Kirk vs. Gorn

Park family vs. the monster from The Host
Ship crew vs. monster in IT! The Terror From Beyond Space (another plug for a silly classic! the crew on the rescue spaceship even has a bazooka at it's disposal to battle the monster! haha)

I think my vote would have to go to Aliens. I remember seeing it originally and being just gob-smacked at how cool the power-loader was and to see it used to fight the Queen was just awesome. Cameron really makes some cool movies.

McQueen vs. Von Richthofen. Hands down, one of the best dogfights ever.

I know it's not totally human vs. alien, but Sheridan/Kosh vs. Ulkesh.

+1 on the Aliens fight scene too.

I saw that episode just a couple of weeks ago and I fully agree with you. That was a great dogfight and the episode in general was just excellent.

How about:

Col O'Neill vs Ra/Horus/Anubis in Stargate
the team vs Sil in Species

Can't seem to think of any others.

The Thing didn't have much of a battle. In the end, Russell's character just throws a stick of dynamite at it.
