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?

My favorite effect in gremlins is spoken word. Hear me out. The movies aren’t really scary and rely mostly on jump scare effects.
However the ‘Santa stuck in the chimney’ story is such a powerful, unexpected confrontation with a claus-trophobic (pun trademarked from now on) and disgusting gory event that it makes the whole movie feel so much darker as a kid.
Trough that scene the whole movie is elevated (in a horror genre perspective) from a funny sorry with jump-starts to something that sticks with you for way longer.
