Ones already mentioned by others:
Grim Fandango
The whole thing but especially, as Remixor mentioned, the transition where you find out what Manny has done to Rubacava. Made my hairs stand on end. Speaking of hair standing on end...
System Shock 2
The first zombie. The first ghost. The twist, even though you were expecting it (if you'd played the first game). I was bug-eyed for days after finishing this game.
Alice
Being absolutely stunned by the inspired banquet of eye candy served up by almost every level. The sheer brilliance of the graphic/level design accounts for nearly all of the 3.5 stars in my sig rating.
Half Life
The Black Mesa intro. 'nuff said on that one already.
A few that I don't think are on the list yet:
Myst 3: Exile
The final reward when you complete the Amateria age. I reloaded time after time after time just to watch it again. My jaw truly dropped - it's never been the same since.
Homeworld
Panning around the mothership in full 3D for the first time. And the nebula effects. Mmmm...
Bioforge
The intro. So atmospheric. So good looking. Absolutely blew me away at the time.
