Natalie Portman and Jean Reno in Léon: The Professional (1994)

Nicolas Cage, Ned Dennehy, and Andrea Riseborough in Mandy (2018)

This list is in no particular order and by no means exhaustive. However, a lot of these films (especially the first 5) are staples within Body Horror and are a great start for anyone wanting to explore the genre. There are some less obvious and underrated examples as well, such as Bergholm's Hatching (2022) or Natali's Splice (2009). I will be adding films and descriptions as they occur to me or when I have the time to do so. 

Toni Collette and Milly Shapiro in Hereditary (2018)

Lili Taylor and Vera Farmiga in The Conjuring (2013)

Jodie Foster in The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

not in any particular order as of now, but the first 5 or so are my favs
