 The JOHN CARPENTER THREAD John Carpenter.He's got the right initials to his name. J.C.-The Jesus Christ of low budget films during the seventies,and innovator of films in the eighties,sadly ol' JC has somewhat fallen from grace in recent years... You love GHOSTS OF MARS,VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED? You hate HALLOWEEN,THE THING? Then state your case here!

My favourite John Carpenter movie: It was HALLOWEEN for years, now i'm not so sure... maybe ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK, or ASSAULT? Shit, theres so many favourites, cant decide on just one of his films. tough one... |

The Thing is still my absolute favourite Carpenter flick, closely followed by They Live, Assault on Precinct 13 and Escape from New York.I've seen Halloween and The Fog so many times now they've dropped down the list a little.

Yes, I love all these John Carpenter films you mention too. But the problem being, is that I have watched some of them so many times now, that I now find it difficult to sit through the whole movie. For example, HALLOWEEN. THE THING is a fab film for sure, became a big fan of Kurt Russell off the back of these movies. he seems like a lot of fun this guy, He's so good in those Carpenter classics.. Keith David is a bit of a legend too, so cool... |

Yeah,you've a point there with Halloween.....what I do is alternate between each viewing with the original and the extended-for-tv version. The Fog,I never tire of watching......

I kinda dig Ghosts Of Mars even if it is just a remake of the far superior Assault On Precinct 13 and believe it or not,I think Escape From L.A. is a cracking film with some great lines from snake plissken and a score that I think surpasses the 1st film.The music used when snake is suiting up is just pure classic carpenter

They live is also a favourite of mine.Roddy Piper at his best "You? you're ok.This one? REAL ****ing ugly!"  The Reaper Man@Cult Labs likes this.

Keith David was great fun in that too, the dialogue was witty and fun. Still not bored of this film. Was Roddy P in any other movie worth watching? |

Ha HA HA! Imagine actually saying something like that to somebody down town, in real life? So cruel... John Carpenters scripts sometimes have moments of great wit. THEY LIVE has some truly class moments, dialogue wise. I recommend the Piper and Carpenter commentary for that movie too. |
