Love Carpenter's The Thing. Had to rank it fairly highly.
Carpenter's Escape from New York with Kurt Russell is fun, but not as good of a movie, and more of a sci-fi adventure. I'll go ahead and write that The Thing is a bit more horror than sci-fi.
So, in lieu of The Hitcher, Blade Runner will provide the Rutger Hauer baddie mention, and score a deuce for director Ridley Scott. And Kurt Russell gets demoted because Grindhouse (Death Proof) is gone now from the thirteenth slot.
Yes, I'm taking my list way too seriously.
