Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)

Only three images from this film continue to stick with me. Obviously, the orchestral alien mothership, with its bleeps and blerps. Then, the sculpture made of mashed potatoes. Then, a strange one - a scene in a car where two people and see a whole bunch of cows are lying around. I think they talk about whether the cows are dead or 'just sleeping'. 

The rest of the film has evaporated out of my memory, however the tiny shreds remaining are typical seventies style acting, dialogue, etc. which were probably just a through way to get to the giant final set piece.
