For me there have been many some obvious some not so...so i'll start the ball rolling:
Opening scene from Star Wars with the tantive IV and the Star Destroyer..up until then there had been nothing like it.Yes the films have been constant companions throught my post 11 year old life and the films as wholes made me love sci-fi but the opening in particular nailed sci fi for me
Planet of the Apes when the first ape is revealed...I know it was in the title but still a shock to see first time.
Evil of the Daleks (repeat 1969), my first coherant memory at 3 years old and it was Pat Troughton and the daleks...nuff said.
Alien...the entire film
BladeRunner...ditto
The ID monster in forbidden planet as its being shot at by the crew.
Klatuu baradda nickto....nuff said
Them and the appearance of the giant ants(particularly the noise).
The day the earth caught fire....mesmorising and thought provoking...sci fi without the whizz bang zap or BEMs
ST II:The Wrath of Khan...I mean how many times did you watch STTOS and want to see a space battle like that.
Superman II...I believed a man could fly AND knelt before Zod.
Any shot of Blakes 7's Liberator
The Eagles in Space 1999
UFO...the episode when an alien and Paul Foster have to help each other to survive on the moon.
Carrie Fisher in a gold bikini.......
Feel free to add/disagree....I'll proberly think up loads more later...lol
