Aliens - my fav - Ripley doing battle with bad mama
The Matrix - mind blowing bullet time that has been countlessly copied since
The Thing (John Carpenter version) - vomited after I saw it when I was 12

I forgot all about The Thing, that's up there most definitely... loved that one.

Even though I was a big fan of Carpenter's version of 'The Thing', when I look back and think about it, the original version was a better movie. I remember, as a kid, hiding under a blanket while watching it. The acting was great and the dialogue was some of the best I've heard. There was that certain way of delivery that's not done anymore. Plus, there were moments when it was truly frightening instead of gross and gory that added to the atmosphere. (I'm saying all of this from the perspective of a ten year old).
If you get a chance, check it out.

... and the first scene with the giant spaceship blew me away.  The ship seemed to go on for miles.

Which brings to mind  Spaceballs       
The first time was kind of funny but no need to see it again.

The BBC production is available on DVD...I saw this back in the early 80s when PBS put it on the air in the US and was absolutely hooked.:
