As long as we're talking about Jaws, how about the scar scene? Everyone's having fun until Quint mentions the Indianapolis. Back in 1975 I'd never heard of the Indianapolis incident, but Hooper's sudden silence and change of expression sent a chill through me.

I'm still waiting for a movie of the Indianapolis incident. (While I was reading Black Wind, I was wondering if it was going to be mentioned.) Have you seen Open Water yet?

The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

Man, the scene in The Exorcist where the demon really start tearing the place up, head spinning, bed jumping. I was very young and that movie scared the bejeebers out of me.
The opening of the original "Dawn of the Dead" where the SWAT guys are in the building trying to help people and the one gets bitten by the supposed corpse. Another movie that scared the woohoo out of me.

I was only 8 the first time I saw Jaws, so the scene didn't have immediate impact on me. I do recall the first time I watched it as an adult though, and I had a very similar reaction. It's a great scene in a great movie.
