Wait Until Dark. Anyone that has seen it will know the scene. Man did I jump! :nervous:
Before that, it was The Butterfly Effect moment where mother Andrea Treborn walks past an opening to her kitchen to catch her young son Evan standing still with a butcher knife in his hand . Not a huge jump scene, but still a nice creepy jolt that works so well since later on in the film, we learn that Evan holding the butcher knife was actually for much less sinister reasons than we were initially led to believe.
Not only did I jump, but One Missed Call actually made me yell out loud. It may have been the DTS though, but still...

Exorcist III.
The scene where the nurse is doing her rounds and the possesed patient suddenly comes up from behind with the shears!

The Grudge made me jump in a few spots. Shut up.
I don't remember any specific one, but I'm sure 28 Days Later had a few jump scenes.
The Others had at least one real effective jump scene I remember, but that was a ways back I suppose.
The Kemper death in the TCM remake.

The Grudge made me move, not really jump, but move once or twice. Still wasn't impressed with it overall.
That scene in The Forgeton that HB mentioned made me jump like a motherfucker. Pretty decent movie.
Not that it made me jump at all, but the best newer movie I've seen recently was Baadasssss!, that was just cool. Way better energy and pace than I imagined.

I'm with Hellbilly on this one. The Forgotten caught me with my defenses down.

THAT scene in the Forgotten. One of the best scenes I saw this year. Btw, the movie wasn;t all that bad. Kinda of an existencial X-Files episode. Julian Moore is once again great anyway.
The Grudge made me jump a couple of times also.
TCM's remake wasn't all that frightenining but it was creepy - unexpectadly so!

The Grudge made me jump a few times too, though overall I couldn't get into it.

Watched Anchor Bay's Madman dvd yesterday for the first time, there were a couple of jump worthy moments in there for sure. Good film too-very atmospheric, despite the crappy music.

Boogeyman. There were several scenes that made me jump. But the best jump scene happened in 1981, when Friday the 13th, Part 2 came out. I saw it with my mom and my younger brother. I was 12 at the time, and my brother was about 9 years old. It was towards the beginning of the movie, when Alice has a ice pick in her hand, and goes to the window, and a cat jumps in from the window. There was no music or sound, so that scene was unexpected. When it happened, I jumped and screamed at the same, my mom screamed, and several other people screamed. They just don't make movies like that hardly anymore.

I watched Taking Lives with Angelina Jolie this past week, and though the film sucked, there was a scene when she was lying in the bed and hands come up and grab her. It made me jump out of my seat. I was surprised to have a film get me like that. Usually see it coming a mile away!!

The Eye had a few instances in there where I jumped. Also, there were a couple in Identity.

I think you're referring to the one where they're all sitting around talking about what they're missing that weekend...

Funnily enough - Hellboy, and it was the SECOND time it did it :D
It's the scene where the baby Hellboy appears. It's a display of true Surround Sound magic. There are two people talking, and then from the right hand rear speaker you hear a thump. Excellent stuff.

I have to agree with the two people who said The Forgotton. It has one of the best shock scenes ever...and I'm not easily shocked.

Constantine, in the very begining where the guy's foot breaks through the wood on the ground, the sound effect was loud and I didnt see it coming at all

Exactly what I was gonna say ;) That part of the movie is so quiet you don't expect anything to happen and then bang :)
I was in shock cause its been a long time since I haven't been able to predict a jump scene in an horror movie ;) I guess asian cinema is less predictable :D
