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.
