Yeah this was the last movie that left me hype afterwards.
But sadly it didn't hold up at all at home.
El Topo. This was in the early 2010s. I had no idea what the movie was before seeing it at a college town. Blew my mind. My body went through various emotions on the way back to the care. Like some kind of intoxication through art. Laughter, joy, tears, un-clarity. It was a mindfuck. Recommend to anyone that doesn't mind odd flicks.

The Matrix and The Fellowship of the Ring.
Oh yeah, this too. Was on a high when I came out of it. And Fury Road to a lesser extent.
The Dark Knight the only time I've seen the entire theatre clap after the movie on a regular screening, not a movie festival or a fan screening like going to a midnight screening of Star Wars. Everyone was just completely stunned.
On a more personal basis, I walked out of Drive thinking that was probably the coolest movie I have ever seen.

The Dark Knight in IMAX was pretty spectacular.

Wait are we talking theater or home ? Cause some of these titles seem old.

Gravity. That movie might not be as good on rewatches (especially at home on a small TV), but that first viewing in the theater was WOW for me.

Nothing! I said nothing!
Interstellar most recently I guess.

The two most notable examples of this for me are Avatar and Mad Max: Fury Road. Avatar because it was a visual marvel especially on Lincoln Square 13's IMAX screen.
Fury Road because of how just nearly perfect it is as an action film for me.

Jurassic park, I saw it opening day and after it finished I walked out of the cinema - then bought another ticket and went straight back in for the next showing.
I've not done that with any other movie.

First film I remember that made me walk out in awe was The Usual Suspects. Incredible seeing the reactions play out in the cinema as it all started to come together.

Return of the King and Two Towers. To lesser degree Mad Max Fury Road, I was more amped from it.
The one I really remember being amazed by was Batman Begins. Not because it was a good movie (it's a great movie) but I went in with really low expectations considering the previous Batman movies but I really like the directors previous work as well as the actors in it.
But I didn't expect to be blown away the way I did. I think me going with low expectations and then being blown away is what made me keep thinking and talking about it.
Also I kinda stopped buying DVDs during that time and the Batman Begins DVD was one of the first DVDs I bought in about 2 years

I think the first movie that made me go "wow" was "Who framed Roger Rabbit", when i was a kid. Then after that it was "Jurassic Park". That was an amazing movie going experience.
Other extremely memorable and amazing theatre experiences include: "The Rock", "Speed", "The Matrix", "Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Ring", "The Dark Knight", "Ace Ventura", and the latest being "Star Wars - The Force Awakens".
Hoping the next one will be "Blade Runner 2049".

Recently, Dunkirk. Seeing it in theater was incredible.

Fight Club. Skilled and original filmmaking on all fronts. It was subversive and blistering. To me at the time it felt like my generations A Clockwork Orange or Taxi Driver or even The Graduate. I came out with an adrenaline rush, actually felt a little high. Nothing since has done that.
