Whereas The Thing stayed on track with it's simple premise. Stayed fascinating and mysterious in an extremely engrossing experience.
I think The Fly is more important, but The Thing a better film.

Agree wholeheartedly with You about THE THING...one of the best films ever.
Liked THE FLY, but don't find myself drawn too much to it.
If You haven't yet, check out the 1988 BLOB...pretty damn good little film. Amazing FX, good cast and definitely a sense of fun to it.
