I can think of a few, if camp movies are going to be included. Destroy All Monsters (my personal favorite of all the giant city killing monster flicks), Gargoyles (I saw it on channel 30's Creature Feature decades ago and was fascinated by it, but it's a terrible flick now), Death Race 2000 (not the recent crappy adaption), Logan's Run, maybe even a modernized Poltergeist that takes advantage of cutting edge effects.
