Go, Miami Redhawks!!!

Best movie(s): Halloween (close second: The Thing)
Coolest movies: Escape from N.Y., Vampires
Best comedy: Big Trouble in Little China
Most original flick: They Live and In The Mouth of Madness
Best Score: Christine
Best atmosphere: The Fog

My heart says
Halloween
, the first John Carpenter that I saw.
However, my head says
The Thing
. An incredible accomplishment on anyone's CV.
You can't palm off a second-rater on me. You gotta remember I was in the pink!

The Thing. Best horror movie ever made and maybe the greatest film period.
Halloween and Christine are close behind. JC was the best horror director in his prime.

The Thing
Never trust a black man named "Chip."

You are all a bunch on commercial bastards and should go back to school you predictable idiots.
Every single one of you numb nuts went for commercial films only made for Sales / Turnover / Profit purpose. Not two of you from the beginning post from October 2010 ever thought to mention
Someone's Watching Me (1978) also known as High Rise.
Amazing stalker murder triller film, well shot, creates a deep effect.
Its actually a classic now.
Urgh makes me sick, bunch of commoners

It's hard to tell.
Almost every movie shot between the late 70's and late 80's is excellent.
I pick 3:
They Live
Halloween
The Thing
honorable mention:
Big Trouble in Little China
Escape from N.Y.
Christine (this is probably the most "Carpenterian" of all: music, cinematography, and atmosphere at its best!

HALLOWEEN!!! First scary movie I'd ever seen & the BEST! There's no other movie like it & it's fun to watch!

They Live, followed very very closely by In The Mouth Of Madness

The fog and Assault on Precinct 13 are two films that have marked me as an individual, but Halloween, Escape from New York and In the mouth of madness score beside them also;yet the first two are always my candidates-together with Polanski's Cul-de-sac, for the title of my favourite film of all time!

The Thing
(1982)
Prostitute: What the beep are you doing?
Johnny: I'm gonna kill a bunch of people.

The Thing. It's my second favorite movie of all time, following The Empire Strikes Back.
"See you guys at the 10 year prison reunion" - Ben Richards

Funny thing about Big John's movies is that I always feel like I'm watching my favourite when I'm re-watching one.
About a month ago, I showed The Thing to a friend and I was like: "this one is my favourite!"
Then, a week ago my mother asked me to show her In the Mouth of Madness which was one she particularly liked the first time she saw it. And while rewatching it I was like "ok, THIS one is really my favourite!"
And it happens all the time. Escape from New York, They Live, Prince of Darkness, Halloween, Assault, The Fog, Big Trouble in Little China
So, what is my favourite Carpenter movie? All of them!
Except for Vampires, Ghost of Mars and his episode for the MoH season 2 (I adored the 1st one though!). And gotta admit I haven't seen The Ward.
Lem! Lem, I'm sorry! But I had to, right?!

The Thing definately. Also probably one of my all time top 3's I think. I love The Thing so much. I always show it to friends who havda0en't seen it

I love a good amount of his films but number one is The Thing then They Live then Halloween then The Fog. I believe John Carpenter is one of if not the best director of all time.

The Carpenter Movie i saw more times must be Halloween followed close by The Thing, Escape From New York, Assault on Precint 13 and The Fog!!
All Classics
