I still love John Carpenter's The Thing. No other horror movie comes close for me. It's an 80s horror film using prosthetics that have a similar look and feel to the original Alien. It was recently 're-made' as a prequel (Also called The Thing) in 2011, using CGI. There was controversy over this as they originally planned on using prosthetics to pay homage to the original film, but changed their mind halfway through filming. The team that was doing these effects are now creating a new film called 'Harbinger Down' that is basically a re-make of The Thing, on a boat, using these prosthetic effects - or 'practical creature FX' as they call them. Seriously, watch this movie without looking anything about it up before hand. I'm so jealous that you get to watch it for the first time.
I am also very interested in watching It Follows and will probably do so after seeing more praise for it in this thread.
