The classic tale of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was remade a handful of times at the start of the 20th century, but we'll refer you to the 1920 version of the movie starring John Barrymore as Dr. Henry Jekyll. The silent film was groundbreaking in its presentation of Jekyll's transformation from the good doctor to the fiendish Mr. Hyde, utilizing minimal makeup and almost no effects, relying instead on Barrymore's ability to contort his face to properly monstrous effect.
The original Body Snatchers came out in 1956, and it remains one of the great American horror films this day. In an incredibly impressive feat, the same can be said for the 1978 remake starring Donald Sutherland as a San Francisco man witnessing the takeover of humanity by an alien race in need of a new home planet to colonize. The performances are outstanding. The practical effects are chilling.
While Howard Hawks's 1951 film The Thing From Another World is a great movie, John Carpenter's 1982 remake is arguably the definitive version, showcasing both creative horror and groundbreaking special effects that remain influential today.
