What older movies made a good use of either side stepping special effects or have effects that somehow still hold up today? Why are they good movies?

I love Event Horizon, but I don't put it quite on the same shelf as Alien and The Thing. It's "A" tier against "S" tier for me. But they are all what I'd consider sci-fi horror. If you like those two, pull the trigger and watch Carpenter's masterpiece.
