The Galactica jumping into the upper atmosphere of New Caprica, plumetting to the ground, launching fighters, then jumping back into space to engage the Cylon fleet alone.
Then of course, later in the same episode, the Pegasus jumping in to save the Galactica. Engaging the Cylons and eventually ramming their fleet after it sustained too much damage.

Easy question...
#1, by far, is the opening of any never-seen-before Star Wars film. Horns, trumpet and so on heavilly pop in. "A long time ago"... I'll never forget these moments of pure joy.
The whole Blade Runner film is great. And I loved Dune. I'm planing to read the books after I read every Discworld I could grab in french (I'm in "Carpe Jugulum" and it's the last affordable one in french, others are at 15Ç).
I loved end of BSG season 1.
Anyway, one of my best moment in a scifi theme... is in Eve. It was in end of 2007 I think, within Tau Ceti federation, when GoonSwarm and TCF tried to one-shoot Veritas Immortalis's capital. Lokta Volterra came in with numbers.
With a titan.
And they hit us in the face very hard. We didn't knew they had a titan.
I immediatly was motivating people on our TS because we were really soooooooo choked.
And our people got over it. And TCF came back with a whole new fleet.
And TCF one-shot VI. Then GS guys came and put france national anthem on our TS, the "Marseillaise" just for fun...
This campaign was sooooooo epic and great !! :)
EVE allready rocks guys !!! :)

I was at this party once and got really toasted. Had this chick drop me off at home got into my robe turned off the lights and was hanging out watching tv, smoking a cigarette. All of a sudden outside these flshing colored lights were coming in from all of the windows. In the smoke it was downright earie.
Of course being totally ****faced at the time I could have sworn the mother ship landed it was right out of close encounters of the third kind. I went to the door opened it up threw my hands in the air and shouted tot he lights take me to your planet.
The next thing i heard was my brother yelling to the police officer next to him to "lower your guns its my brother"
See while I was out he drove his girlfriend home but left all the lights on. when he came back all the lights were off except he could see a faint light flickering (the tv). He did not see my car in the dirveway so thought the house was being robbed and called the cops.
I was too drunk to realize that the red and blue and white flashing lights were the police surrounding the house.

+1 for Galactica hotdrop
From Babylon 5:
Delenn: Why not? Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari Fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else!
And of course, Aliens:
Hudson: That's it, man. Game over, man. Game over, what the **** are we supposed to now, huh, what are we gonna do?
Burke: Maybe we can build a fire, sing a couple of songs.

Wikus Van De Merwe: Get your ****in' tentacle out of my face!
With the Allspark gone, we cannot return life to our planet. But fate has yielded its own reward: a new world to call home. We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting...protecting. I have witnessed their capacity for courage, and though we are worlds apart, like us, there's more to them than meets the eye. I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars: We are here. We are waiting
not a movie or a quote, but the most memorable, awe inspiring and mind opening sci fi, has got to bo the manifold series of books by stephen baxter, well pretty much any sci fi book by him is awesome.

My favorite sci-fi experience was the time I built a graviton generator out of a couple of windmills and a few thousand feet of copper wire. I sucked my neighbors car and shed into a temporary black hole - but I never told anyone what happened.

The Galactica hot drop is awesome, but I have to say that my favorite moment has to come from Babylon 5.
Its in season two, and the Centauri have just launched their end game offensive against the Narn. The Shadows have just ganked the Narn Fleet, and the Centauri fleet is approaching an undefended Narn homeworld.
Centauri warships are seen in orbit of Narn, using Mass Drivers to bombard the planet with Asteroids harvested from within the system.
And in that moment you see Londo at the window of the command cruiser, this look of abject horror on his face as the assault is reflected in the glass....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjIlqrAfbbg
...and he looks away in shame at the end, knowing that he's just been instrumental in committing what amounts to genocide.
Babylon 5 was a great show.

The movie "Dune" in its entirety. The dark universe Frank Herbert created reminds me of Eve, and David Lynch (the director) revels in the Gothic detail of the sets.
The characters are human, but not the kind of humans that are from Earth.
The movie didn't do the books justice (which movie ever does?) but it did capture the feel the books conveyed.

Galactica hot-drop is a great choice. That is one awesome episode in general.
My others:
- Luke's battle with Vader on Bespin and "that" revelation. Still chills me a bit. JEJ did some awesome VO work for Vader. Also the moment when the Super Star Destroyer is revealed - freakin' awesome.
- Most of Starship Troopers, but notably their first drop. The music, the tension . . . great stuff.
- Roy Batty's death scene in Blade Runner. Not ashamed to admit that I cried when I first saw it.
- Minority Report - every time they used that awesome screen. I still want one
- Ending of BSG. It's a marmite moment in that you will either love it or hate it, but I loved the final episode, and I still cry during that final scene between Laura and Bill in the Raptor.
- Crysis - the alien ship level. It looks stupidly good and offers quite a few tense moments. If the last section had all been 0G and in the ship, it would've been much better. Pretending to be the Predator and using the stealth ability a lot is also win.
- AvP2 - does it need saying why? Roll on AvP3!
- The Matrix - everything from the opening title [even the sound made when the WB logo comes up on screen is awesome] to the end.
Probably a few I've forgotten as well, but those are the reason why I still love sci-fi.

- The Farscape crew chopping off one of pilot's arms. Nothing like a series where who's good and who's bad largely depend on how long it's been since the last meal.
- Alpha-striking an enemy Mech with 4 ER PPC's.
- The second episode in Babylon 5 where they go to Babylon 4 to send it back in time (serious "oooh, now it makes sense" moment).
- Pretty much anything by Philip K. ****

The ultimate hotdrop in BSG was amazing (even after watching it many many times on youtube)
Still one of my favorites is Dark Star (1974) by John Carpenter.
Funny movie from beginning to end! Very campy and low budget but still worth watching.

Hudson: Let's just bug out and call it even, OK? What are we talking about this for?
Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Hudson: F****n' A...
Burke: Ho-ho-hold on, hold on one second. This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.
Ripley: They can *bill* me.
In a way the Aliens world reminds me of EVE even more then Dune. Mega corps ruling all, motivated solely by profit.
