I'd say John Carpenter's most mainstream film is either
Starman or
Escape from New York – they were both made with relatively high profile cast and crew and were both critically and commercially successful.
I'd say
Starman was aimed at a wider audience than any other film Carpenter has made. This is reflected in its relative commercial success and recognition by industry awards, with Jeff Bridges receiving Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for his performance.
