The Films Of John Carpenter

Hey Gang,
Remember when John Carpenter made good, even great, movies. The kind of film that when you were leaving the theatre, you thought WHAT A MOVIE!!. You think those days are ever coming back? Because, let's face it "Ghosts Of Mars" really did stink up the room. Well until we see something new from Mr.C let's pick our top 5 favorite Carpenter movie's here's mine, curious to see yours.

1. Escape From New York (I know it's not horror.but it's my favorite JC movie)

2.The Thing-I saw this a couple of weeks before it premired, and was compleatly blow away,great movie.

3.Vampires-Good gory sexy fun. loved it

4.Halloween- The first and still the best

5.The Fog-I know it has plot holes you can drive a truck through, but I still like it.

yeah i wondered about that too ...
I think someone saw the word Classic and figured John Carpenter belonged due to Halloween.

Or not ...


and yeah .. i thought The Mouth of Madness was pretty bad.
To make matters worse, this mystical town is Unionville, close to where i live. The asylum is the Toronto Water Treatment Plant and the 'Temple' where the writer lives is up the 400.

When you know the locations of a fantasy film extremely well, (especially one with a 'mystical town' its hard to suspend the imagination.

Ghosts of Mars

Actually, I liked Ghosts of Mars quite a bit. There are a few people who liked it. I saw it in the theatres with a friend, and we had a good old rollicking time!
