re: Follow-up: more memorable scenes.
The Jaws scene where the shark first appears and Brody says they need a bigger boat has got to be one of the all time greatest scenes.
You mentioned 2001. I love the end with the Star Baby above the Earth and the music playing.
This is the famous scene in Star Wars that shocked us all.
And speaking of Star Warssome one put together these battle scenes. I personally love the end of the Return of the Jedi where you have three battles going on. Luke and Vader on the Death star, the battle in Space, and the Battle on the moon.
I found this Galaxy Quest scene.
