Bayonetta's final battle with Jeanne on Isla del Sol. Mirror Match style fighting on rooftops, skyscrapers, multiple missiles in flight, and some of the best boss battle music ever? Very yes.
Edit: Also, the whole thing takes place while the city is being destroyed by said missiles. So great.
Kael'Thas in World of Warcraft. In a non-MMO, probably the final Darksiders boss. It made you feel like a total badass and I just loved the fight. Or almost any Demon's Souls boss.

I thought the boss in Twilight Princess where you had to ride the spinning top up the tower was really creative, and fun too. Then there's Akantor from Monster Hunter; that big, plant-like alien thing from Dead Space; and that huge tank in Valkyria Chronicles.
I guess I had a lot of fun/frustration with the Devil May Cry 4 bosses. The Credo fight was pretty good, in particular. Prince of Persia had some cool things going on during bosses, too. Though some of the most satisfying victories were in John Woo's Strangehold, because damn that game could get tough. And the first time we fought the Berserker in Gear of War 1 was friggin' amazing.
XBLA games have a ton of great bosses, I can't narrow it down to just one.
Yeah this. It wasn't challenging or particularly original (I mean it's just a brutal martial arts fight), but it was a very satisfying wrap up to the series. I loved that it went through all the different styles of health bar and music. That stuff blew me away.
I'll throw in another vote for any boss in Bayonetta. That game is so damn epic and insane. What other game has you control the flight of a boss as you hurl it into the sun?
Stallord (the boss of Arbiter's Grounds) from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Not only the best Zelda boss of all time (Goht from MM is in second), Stallord actually made the spinner (which was completely useless outside of that dungeon) a lot of fun.

I concour with those who suggested Bayonetta and Demons Soul's as the most satisfying boss fights, but the best ever boss fight can be seen around ten minutes into this Quicklook(TM). http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-cave-story/17-2234/
Just about all the boss fights in Twilight Princess. The best pack of bosses in the entire Zelda series were in that one. Dragons, (humongous) sea serpents, giant skeletons, and a few standouts (the dragon and the skeleton) use the dungeon items in really fun and cool ways.
I also dug the final boss in Darksiders. Fun way to end the game, though I feel that the last form could have used some work to make it tougher or maybe another form after that.
Even though you fight them three goddamn times, the DMC4 crew of bosses were pretty great, especially with Nero. Felt kind of like Shadow of The Colossus when I was trying to figure out how to stun them to get them into a position to use the Devil Bringer in a throw.
