I actually like Escape From L.A. a lot. But the best ones are, of course, The Thing, Halloween, Big Trouble in Little China, Assault on Precinct 13, Escape From New York, etc.

Halloween is close, though. It's so elegant, so simple, almost elementally perfect. My favorite works of Carpentry are nothing unexpected, but I do have a special appreciation for The Fog, which I think is a tad underrated, and

same :)

I loooooveeeee The Thing

Escape From New York City is a great one too

Over the weekend I watched the second installment in the Qatsi trilogy and rewatched the Lady Snowblood duology. Very different, but both highly recommended.

The Thing is top ten for me. I'm happy with (almost) anything John Carpenter. I've seen every one of his movies.
