These are all good choices. I was expecting more known battles. May I suggest:
1. Lexington & Concord - veteran British Army of several thousand were soundly defeated, routed, by citizen militia. After the later Battle of Bunker Hill, the British left New England for good.
2. What no Thermopylae, Marathon, or Salamis? Great underdog Greek victories against the Persians.
3. Siege of Vienna by Ottoman Turks
4. Defeat of Montezuma by Cortez and small band of conquistadors.
5. Battle of Rourke's Drift (told in movie ZULU, with Michael Caine).
6. Battle of Bastogne during Battle of the Bulge, WW2.
7. Boudica's defeat of her 100,000 by the single 14th Roman legion, despite having their back to the River, and holding the low ground.
