I'm not sure what it says about me that of my top five favorite movies, three of them are John Carpenter flicks starring Kurt Russel (The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, and Escape from NY.)
I... I'm just going to go ahead and assume it means I have excellent taste and am pretty much beyond reproach when it comes to matters of cinema.
agreed! I dunno if i'd crown it okay, yeah I would it's my favourite horror movie. The original Halloween might tie it, though, and wouldn't you know - another Carpenter movie.
i showed this to a friend of mine for the first time and the faces she was making during the more horrific parts were priceless. she didn't really know anything about the movie past the general idea of "alien horror movie", and when the dog turned inside out I wish i had a camera on hand to capture her surprise. brought me back to the first time I saw it when I was fourteen and had no idea what the hell it was about.
I am not one to be picky, just want to point out that the John Carpenter version of The Thing is a remake as well.
The original movie was called "The Thing from Another World". You can see footage of the original movie in Carpenter's first movie "Halloween"
