The ones that come to mind to me first.

Willow - Probably the first movie I was visually stunned by and loving every moment of it.

Forrest Gump - Never felt so inspired after watching this film.

Braveheart - Couldn't believe the sheer graphic violence in this film. It blew me away.

Se7en - The ending was a definitely a 'wow moment'.
 
Damn, I feel like I have several but can't remember them right now.

I was just a little kid when I watched The Usual Suspects but I believe I had a wow moment at the scene in the end when he walks away and stops limping etc

That's a great choice, I couldn't understand it at first. I was highly confused after watching that film. But then after some time thinking about it. I figured it out and then the wow moment suddenly came over me.
 
Maybe doesn't count because I was working and not watching the movie but I had a gentleman remove all of his clothes and start crawling around on the floor during Avatar 2. If that doesn't make you say "wow" nothing will.

lol really? That's weird. Why would he do that?
 
Oh yeah I'd like to add The Passion of the Christ.

Never seen so many men openly weeping for this film. Never seen it before or since.

The story takes a twist!

The guy is maybe in his 30s. Not coherent, just grunting and popping up off the floor every now and again. At the time I just assumed drugs but it gets darker. I later learned that this guy was wrongfully released/escaped from a VA hospital earlier that day and the battle scene at the end triggered his PTSD.
 
Ive seen quite a few movies in 3-D, but none that blew me away like "Gravity". I tell people that is a movie that you truly need to see in 3D to experience.

In Top Gun: Maverick. When Mav had been let go and the pilots were hopeless about their mission and then Mav steals a jet and does the obstacle course in under the time limit, I was legit on the edge of my seat for that.
