I agree with the ones I've seen most of which I have not, sadly... Another that got me was in the M:I 1 when that damn car blew up, 'specially in the theater, because the sound was rather piercing. And another I remember is the first time I watched Arachnaphobia at home, some of us were laying/siting on the floor at the beginning then by the middle, everyone was huddled on the couch, sofa or recliner. Also another good scare was in Phantoms when the little kid appeared in the closet. And in The Ring ... oh yeah you know what part I'm talking about!

That scene from The Descent is amazing, the actresses had not seen the creatures beforehand, so it was the first time the women saw them when filming that scene to get more of a surprise.

I just saw The Fly for the first time in years the other day, it was spectacular, the whole movie is incredibly unsettling and eerie, then at the end, when his transformation is complete, oh man, one of the most unnerving climaxes I've ever seen in a film, it's so tragic and so well made. The make up effects were astounding. Goldbloom kicks ass. And yes, that scene with the baboon was great as well.
Another great jump scene is in TCM, when Sally is pushing Franklin through the woods at night, and leatherface jumps out and kills franklin, a great great jump scene, mostly because the loud noise accompanying the sudden movement is actually organic in the movie - the sound of the chainsaw revving up - and not some out of place loud noise added in post production.
Overall a solid list, the one from Seven, The Shining and The Descent are all ace.

I don't know why FotR was on there, but the biggest scare in Alien was defiantly the part where the guy was crawling down the tunnel and everyone else saw the alien on the radar thingy, and he didn't know where it was at, and he turned around with the flashlight and the alien poped out scared me soooooo bad, i was like "holy shit!" lol
I know. I didn't see anything scary in the comedy, Ghostbusters.
And what's scary about Ghostface pulling Randy into a van? I hope I wasn't the only one that saw that coming a mile away. (btw, the list says Scream 2 was made in 1987)
Really? You've mentioned Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but are you saying you really didn't jump during the scenes referred to in The Fly, Alien, The Descent, JP and TCSM? If so, then please post some scenes that did make you flinch.
Even though I knew it was coming, when I watched JP in the movie theatre I jumped a mile when the raptor burst against the wire fence! As much as I hate the movie, the same thing happened during Independence Day when the alien pops out of the UFO that Will Smith shoots down...
