In Bound for Glory, because steadi-cam was so new, even the extras weren't fully aware of how it worked. The shot was supposed to be longer, but one of the extras actually came up to Carradine and said he was glad to meet, had known his dad, etc. Carradine politely told the guy they were shooting, but they had to cut, rather than extending the scene. The Psycho shower scene had quick cuts Sure did. And Bonnie and Clyde went out with a bang, not a whimper.

There are quite a few scenes I could mention.
Two car chase scenes:
- The one from Billlitt
- The one from The French Connection (RIP Gene Hackman)
The opening scene of Jawswhich made everyone fear the open sea for a few years.
The shot of the Star Destroyer, Devastator, in the opening scene of Star Wars.
Believing that a man could fly in Superman: The Movie.
These are just a few.

Another movie that belongs in this category is Night of the Living Dead. Rather than scenes, there were some ways in which this movie changed film history. Examples are introducing the zombie genre we know today, an African American playing the main hero for its time period, and the good guy getting killed at the end.

It's not a scene. It's a movie called Star Wars. It changed virtually everything about the movies from special effects to marketing. I had a record that played the audio of the major scenes. It put John Williams on the lips of everyday movie goers. The man literally wrote the score of my life.

Gollum and the birth of fully digital characters in movies could have gotten a mention. Yes, it was not the first CGI, but the first major digital character, interacting. And also promoted performance capture. We were all amazed at the time, even More when we learned how it was done.

When Neo dodged Agent Smith's ammo in the Matrix for the first time.
Jaws because the music created the tension for the audience.
The first Avatar movie. I thought the colors were amazing.
Terminator 2 Judgment Day T-1000 still creeps me out.

One I'll add is the original German film Machden in Uniform (1931. I believe it's the first film to have an all female cast, and the first to depict a possible romantic relationship between two female characters, even if it is a student/teacher relationship.

For me it was The Mist’ ending. It was such a shock that had Thomas Jane’s character just waited another minute or two he wouldn’t have had to kill his son and friends. It redefined twist endings for me.

You know for years, movies didn't have sound, and then they figure it out. Some people say that the silent era was the golden era of film. These people are difficult and insane.

I’d throw in Jaws. That showed the concept of the summer blockbuster tentpole film would make millions for the studios.
That and Star Wars, first use of motion controlled cameras.

I always thought Who Framed Roger Rabbit was one of the best and first movies to combine live actors and animated heroes. I was sure it would (and belive it should) be on the list.

At 6: 20, the better rendition of this event is in the movie with Costner and Harrelson playing the old Texas Rangers who caught Bonnie and Clyde without romanticizing them.

The scene where Dorothy steps out from the dreary monochrome of Kansas, into the technicolour whimsy of Oz, will never fail to be impressive, especially in the 1930's.

The original Friday 13th when Jason came out of the water at the end. It was the start of the he's not dead movie ending.
