The first time I heard the foot-stomps of the Cyberdemon was also the first time a game made me need a change of underwear 
I have a soft spot for the Half Life crab/spider thing sub boss before you got to the disapointing end boss. It was the size of the thing and sound it made when it began a charge at you. Also was pretty unusual compared to everything that had gone on before.

That and the fact that it has a "buster gonad" style giant scrotum dangling around under its shell

Probably been said but has to be Metal Gear Rex from the original Metal Gear Solid, for me.

Shub-Niggurath!
I was just thinking of that, what could be a better boss than timing a flying ball so it goes through the boss at the same time as you go through a teleporter

SHODAN from SS2?
Or Andross from Starwing on the SNES, even after all these years I still can't beat him.

The penultimate enemy on the ship at the end of Crysis (or was it the expansion?)
Took me ages to blow it up, then an even bigger one came out, but that one went down much easier.
God Of War is pretty immense, just boss battle after boss battle really.

Honourable mention to wizzpig as mentioned. Completely forgot about him! Took me soooo many restarts.

I remember a Pacman 3D game (Pacman World maybe?) on original playstation, that had a boss that was so hard to beat. You had to do three things at once on the gamepad,thereby basically requiring three sets of eyes... I couldn't do it alone as a kid, my dad couldn't do it alone either... so we duct-taped a controller to a table and did a part each. My dad, my cousin and I 
. It took us about 2 hours... man was it intense. Best boss ever.

EQ - Lady Vox. My 1st raid experiance ever..70+ people running around trying to down this dragon. Absolutley awesome fun, and I've never looked back in the MMO genre
WoW - Deadmines/Edwin Van Cleef. My introduction to scripted events and instances in a MMO universe, mindblowing. It's hard to explain how revolutionary and polished WoW was at the time.
WoW - Nefarian, BWL. 'Nuff said.
R-Type. (Atari ST) 4th level 'boss' encounter. I just remember struggling on this for weeks
