John Carpenter made some good movies some great movies, some truly shit movies, and one of the greatest movies ever - one of my top 3 favorite movies of all time (The Thing).
Story and script seem to be the defining factor in making a great movie.
- Jgrubb 2y agoWhat are his shit movies?, I’m not aware of any but need to check them out.
- rado 2y agoMe too. The worst I’ve seen from him is average/meh, never shit. I liked the much maligned “Ghosts of Mars”, a kick ass action movie with a twist on his usual anti-conformist work; now a couple of polar opposite archetypes must act together.
- andrewstuart 2y agoI hated ghost of mars and prince of darkness.
- justin66 2y agoI believe Prince of Darkness is the one that had (incidental to everything else, not an important plot point) a possessed Alice Cooper impale a guy with a bicycle. If that’s not enough to move a film out of the doghouse…
- riffraff 2y agoThat is a very, very good way of stating way of stating a fact that I 100% agree with. Although my favorite would probably be In The Mouth of Madness, because I saw that at a better point in my life.
- penfolder 2y agoSame here, The Thing is an absolute masterpiece. What are the rest of your 3?
- andrewstuart 2y agoAlien and Star Wars of course.
