The scene where the crew spreads out across the ice to indicate the size of the spaceship frozen below has always seemed to me to one of the creepiest (or "unsettling" or "disturbing" if you prefer) moments in movies.As noted in another thread below I'd have to say that no movie has scared me as much as Invaders From Mars did after seeing it on TV at age 7 or 8. Over forty years later I still vividly recall having nightmares about that movie for days afterward.
Of more recent movies I'd concur with the others who listed Alien. I'd add Aliens, especially the scenes where the humans are waiting in the control room as the aliens approach and the chase through the air ducts. The escape from the alien nest is pretty great too.
Follow Ups:
the electric-frying scene still fascinates me, IMO, one of the alltime great shock(!) scenes. Another is Psycho bathtub stabbing. Add some of Alien scenes too. Island of Lost Souls scene were Dr. Moreau aka Charles Laughton gets a taste of crude vivisection from his manimals in The House of Pain. ~AH
Another of those 50's films that really hits the bullseye. It had a matter-of-factness in the presentation that made it so convincing. Right up there with The Thing, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers. A classic.
Speaking of remakes - The remake of "Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers" had it's redeeming qualities. A good cast - Goldblum , Sutherland , Nimoy and a class act by someone for the cameo appearance by McCarthy.It missed the scary core of the original. That the change in people was subtle , very hard to define. In the remake , rabid sports fans became complacent sleepwalkers. Not a good reading !
