Although if you're looking for something more mainstream, I was wowed by The Dark Knight, as I believe most people were. I'm a big comic book fan, and I always hoped comic book movies would someday cease to be derivative movies, and The Dark Knight really changed the genre for the better.
And as I child I recall being wowed by Jurassic Park. I was eight and when I saw that Brachiosaurus reach for the top of that tall tree, I was as astonished as the characters on screen. That movie sparked a life long love of dinosaurs.

For me, it was Disney-Pixar's "Wall-E>." I remember going in to the movie, fearing it would cross that line into "cute" or "precious" and being utterly blown away how the film used sound, music, and silence in poignant ways. At the time of its release, several critics had pointed out how "Wall-E" seemed very Chaplin-esque – high praise indeed. Before seeing the film I thought they must be exaggerating. But after seeing the film once, and going on to see it several times, I now think that was even a bit of an understatement. In a field of strong animation, especially in recent years, "Wall-E" continues to top my list. Not just as a fine animated film, but a fine film period. It's truly a movie for film lovers.
(And to put this in perspective, I speak as a person who deeply appreciates "Fight Club," "Pan's Labyrinth," "Memento," "Run Lola Run," "The Dark Knight," "Eternal Sunshine," "There Will Be Blood" and a host of darker or more "adult" movies as well.)
Although I must also add, the montage in Disney-Pixar's "Up" is also one of the strongest sequences I've seen in recent years!

A man of faith becomes what is basically equal to a vampire when he undergoes an experimental procedure. If you want to see it, I will save the rest of the details

It's an amazing story, full of action, humor, and shocking sadness. It kinda has a Star-Wars vibe to it, too.
And the first time Serenity, the spaceship, comes into frame, it's amazing. It's like watching a stunning woman enter a room, and it takes your breath away.
Now, keep in mind I was a fan of the TV show, so that may have influenced my opinion a bit. However, "Rotten Tomatoes" says of it: "Snappy dialogue and goofy characters make this Wild Wild West soap opera in space fun and adventurous."

I watched ''Avatar'' a few days ago and even though it wasn't in 3D it was still an excellent movie. I can imagine that it must have been even better in 3D! I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was different, had a very interesting storyline and I think it was very well done.

M$The second clip is of all of the love stories spread out as breaks through the movie.
The third clip--sam year, 1989 (freshman and sophomore years of college for me): Michelle Pfeiffer singing "More than You Know" in "The Fabulous Baker Boys/" Makin' Whoopee" was even better. He actually played the piano and she actually sang.
Nor so tech but my wow worthy faves.

M$But if you want recent and epic like Fight Club where you leave with your mind blown, I really like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Good movie. Pick it up.

I also, regrettably, loved "Paranormal Activity." It's just my genre.
But the last really great "wow" movie ("wow" meaning I was glued to the screen and felt touched by the end of it), was "Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium," that just recently aired on ABC Family. I know, I know, it's a kid's movie - but it has a lot to say about how boring we adults have become. (Plus, I love Dustin Hoffman - he does "quirky" better than Johnny Depp.)
I also must heartily suggest the Japanese "Grudge" series. As usual, the Americans have done an iffy job of the remake, but the original Japanese version gives some life and soul to a ghost story that Americans just can't seem to grasp. Plus, every storyline is out of order, so it's fun trying to piece everything together in the end. (The official order of the series is "Juon: The Curse 1," "Juon: The Curse 2," "Juon: The Grudge 1," "Juon: The Grudge 2" - the "Curse" series is a bit old, and the camerawork slightly shoddy, but quite good.) Here's the trailer for "Juon: The Grudge 1":

OMG! The Grudge movies scare the crap out of me! Literally! LOL After I watched one I couldn't sleep for days! If you like horror movies this is definitely the best!
No kidding. And all the places you go to feel safe after watching a scary movie - like under the covers - pffft, gone. I still get creeped out if there's a lump in my bed.
