Invasion of the Body Snatchers, "cheesy"?
Which one? Each of the filmed versions of Jack Finney's novel is played straight; the paranoid undertones and feelings of dread are nicely unsettling, the allegorical references to communism are there if you want them, and the acting is pretty spot on throughout.
Not to mention a few brief scenes of creepy effects, particularly in the 1978 version during a pod-transformation.
