Don't forget some of the fights with Angel and Connor, or Angel and Hamilton in "Not Fade Away". And in the bigger scale battles, "Chosen" "The Gift" and that one in Ats 4, where the gang is hiding in the sewers from Jasmine's minions and Connor... 'Member that?

Don't temp me. I know practicaly all there is to know about Buffy and Angel, sans everything about the actors. If I really put my head to it I might be able to tell you everything that happens step by step... Like I said, I'm a geek. :)

Here's one, we the viewers all saw it coming, but at what point precisely did Spike himself realize he loved, not just liked or lusted after, Buffy?

That's still up in the air, but it could either be during the Thy Will Be Done spell, or his dream when she come to kill him and kisses her and actualy says "I love you". He most likly started lusting after her becuase of Faith and the body swap incedent.

Are we talking about Buffy the show, or Buffy the character?
For the show, I don't think anything tops Spike's two little throwdowns in "Fool for Love".
For Buffy personally, come on, this is easy: against Faith, at the end of "Graduation Day, Part 1".
It's funny: I just watched HLOD again for about the millionth time, and that fight just didn't jump out at me as anything special. Different strokes, huh? In fact, if anything, I probably dislike that fight, because it's one of the times where Buffy's stunt double is really obvious as being someone other than SMG. Most action scenes are shot in such a way that they at least do a decent job hiding it, but not this one.

YES YES YES, that is my favourite fight ever... ever. aw chrisisall, were you unwed I would take you in a manly fashion 
when I first watched that (taped off tv) I had to rewind it 3 times and watch it through again, but most people I've mentioned it to didn't think it was anything special. I'm not sure what it is, maybe it's seeing spike in the sunlight, maybe it's the tongue-between-the-teeth leer, or when he jumps off the steps and roundhouses[?] her... it's just brilliant... and great dialogue too "squirrels makin' lots of nasty little sqirrels" "what exactly did it take to pry apart the slayer's dimpled knees?", and the stuff about angel.
I found a lot of the later fight scenes quite dull, but that ones still so fresh and snappy 
although fool for love was very good with the switching between past and present, those fights were very well done too.
